Hawaiian King and Queen Receive the Japanese Delegation

Today, the Powhatan is scheduled to dock in Hawaii. From my understanding, the Japanese delegation is also scheduled to meet the Hawaiin king and queen today as well. This will probably be very interesting for both groups because it is their first time conversing with each other. Although I don't have a clue on where they are exactly, I know they are getting closer and closer to San Francisco. Upon hearing about the many storms that are happening at sea, I can't help but wonder if those on the ship even made it to the Hawaiian islands safely. Maybe I am overthinking things, but I do hope everyone is safe and well.

  1. It is quite heart-warming to know that you are so concerned about everyone's well being. This even further increases my optimism for this journey and my faith in our coutries' new found friendship. To ease your worries, everyone did indeed have a splendid time in Hawaii. It was an honor to meet his and her majesties, the King and Queen.

  2. I am also very worried about the storms and how the Powhatan is doing. I hope the weather gets better and easier sailing on the Powhatan's trip to San Francisco from Hawaii. My best regards!
