Commentary:

Majuro.... This was the first time in a while since we stepped on the ground the last time. Most of the scientists disembarked at Majuro. Now they are perhaps on the way to their home.

Now we, still on board the Mirai, find so many vacant rooms and seats in the messroom. Now that the ship is lighter, it will go faster. Please bet on this race: which will be the winner in the race to Japan, we (by Mirai) or they (by Airplane)? Heaven only knows the result, as well as when the precipitation will come around the Nauru island.

The time has finally come. This is the last daily report from the Mirai. Thank you for listening, and we hope to see you again someday somewhere!
