mm MHMI MtiMi i Page 2 September 16,1998 OPINION Viking Voyage days away from historic end

(Editor's note: Barring any unforeseen complications or a dramatic change in weather, the Viking crew, including Homer Williams of Boyne City, is scheduled to arrive Friday morning at L'Anse aux Meadows on Friday. The crew will become the first sailors to successfully retrace legendary Viking explorer Leif Eriksson's voyage to the New World in an authentic replica Viking ship. A crowd of thousands is expected to be on hand when the crew wades ashore after 83 challenging days at sea (including Friday, Sept. 18) to witness the triumphant close of this historic voyage. Following is Homer's latest journal entry, posted on the Viking Voyage web page on Monday.)
