EDUCATION DAY ON A SMOOTH DRAKE

Today education was for everyone on the vessel: meaning lectures for passengers and drills for the crew.  A regular fire drill was this morning which was educational for some and for others just to keep up and not to forget the require actions in case of an emergency.

Passengers had the option to attend to many lectures either in German or English the subjects varied from seabirds, history, geology to adventure. We had the luck to have on board Amir Klink a Brazilian sailor that had done many sailing trips cross the world, many times into Antarctica, including at least twice overwintering and circumnavigating the white continent, even rowing trip from Africa to Brazil
