Yes, I'm looking forward to it as well. I've sent some photos and notes to Lonesome EJ.

Here's another update:

November 2, LA Times:

Rex Halbeisen, a friend of (Claudene) Christian, said he received an email from her before she died at sea saying she was worried about the storm and the condition of the ship. "She was very concerned for their safety and was 'praying to God that going to sea was the right decision,' " Halbeisen told the Los Angeles Times. "You know me, I am not a mechanical person but the generators and engines on this ship are not the most reliable," Christian said, according to email text provided by Halbeisen.
