Dear Ex-PYs,
This is to inform you about the new ports to be visited for
the SWY19 program.
As announced on Dec. 14, visits to Fiji and Tonga had been
canceled, and the Cabinet Office has decided the new ports
to be visited.
Feb. 5- 8, Brisbane, Australia (as originally planned)
Feb. 12 - 14, Sydney, Australia
Feb. 19 - 21, Wellington, New Zealand
Feb. 25 - 26, Vanuatu for fueling and water supply
I would like to sincerely thank the alumni members of Australia
and New Zealand for kindly offering your assistance to host
the ship - without your help, we would not have been able to
organize the program!!
I would also like to thank you very much for Fiji and Tonga
for your support and involvement for planning the ports of call
visits so far. It is our great regret that the ship will not
be able to visit your countries - the two of the most friendly
islands in the South Pacific!!
Warm regards,
Tamae Saito
