A DAY SAILING SOUTH INTO THE NORTH SEA:

 A DAY SAILING SOUTH INTO THE NORTH SEA:

Standard day thus far, early coffee, breakfast, download/backup photos. Lecture on World Heritage Sections etc. 
There was a nice video on the building of Clinker Boats. 



Lynn went to an exercise class and I did a ship walkabout taking photos of the ships nooks and crannies. The MS Maud is a very nice ship.

Attended a great lecture on Isben and Gregg and found it very enlightening. When we get home I will have to dig through our CD’s and find Peer Gynt. 



We then enjoyed a nice lunch. 



After lunch there was a general emergency drill where guests were allowed to participate. Actually, the guests were encouraged to participate to add to the training experience for the crew.

Then afternoon tea and coffee. The skies are darkening and there are squalls around us.

We swung by the knot tying class on our way back to the cabin. 



Then we watched a lecture on the Norwegian Mountain Code. The Norwegian Mountain Code is the outdoor safety precautions one should take. One of the expedition crew retold a story of her misadventures snowmobiling in Svalbard. 



We continue sailing to Harlingen, Netherlands and a rocking a bit.
