According to the Japanese Coast Guard wind measuring device, today at 11:25am in Kusagaki, the wind speed was 13m/s SW. This unfortunate wind direction and strength has grounded the progress of the Eclipse Expedition. Rik and Jogo are now landbound on the East side of Yakushima near Anbou. They will camp there tonight and will attempt to view the eclipse tomorrow morning. Currently the weather forecast for tomorrow is for storms passing through the area accompanied by rain showers.
