The days passed by fairly quickly with so
much to do. There were lectures, Tai Chi
classes, helicopter rides, evening films,
a tour of the engine room and an evening
BBQ on deck.
There was an auction night with the main item - a hand-illustrated map with our course and signed by the crew and team sold for $26,000. Jan made the auction more into a comedy show – it was very entertaining and raised over $48,000 for the Polar Bear conservation.
Of course, I have to mention the fantastic food created by the Austrian kitchen team. We dined on gourmet meals for two weeks – time to find the gym!
