Weather was mostly good except for rain and storm threats during the first quarter of the trip. I love the pictures of the Storm Scope . As Ed wrote, the storm scope is valuable in planning and dealing with weather enroute.

Darwin is the capitol city of the Northern Territory of Australia. The estimated population is a mere 150, 000 people. Darwin is the smallest, wettest and most northerly of the Australian capitol cities and is the “top end”s regional center. Darwin is actually named after Charles Darwin, the scientist, geographer and author. He was the creator of Darwin’s theory of evolution, which cause quite a stir in the mid 19th century.

After resting up, Ed and Zvi took off for Cairnes, Australia at about 8 am Monday October 24. It’s only a 6 1/2 hour flight this time and winds and weather continue to be favorable. I’m looking forward to his update on seeing Norty and Meg Gill, it’s been a while.

In Cairnes, Queensland, there will be ample time for our men to rest and visit good friends. They will continue to spread the word about Alzheimer’s research and the quest for a cure.
