Gibraltar to Gdynia
Wednesday, 31 May Day 34 Daily Log Voyage # 0506
CAPTAIN'S LOG Yesterday there were exercises on the training ship Horizont II in Gdansk Bay. We also toured the GMU Campus and saw many of their simulators and labs. Visits to the Maritime Administration Director's Office and a tour of the Vessel Traffic Service center. Another student hosted party was held last night. Shopping, dining out, shopping, walking, bike riding....all activities that are now daily while in port. This morning at 1100 there will be a Soccer Match between GMU and MMA held in a professional stadium. We hope to have a good showing of support and anticipate an upset. The Chief Mate (Player/Coach) for our side has had his team in training for the past week. We keep telling them that we just came from Barcelona, home of the Euro-cup champion team and we just might have brought a few players along with us..... We will vacate this berth at 0600 in the morning due to two passenger ships scheduled to arrive. Check out our Question and Answer page.

Notes:
Gdynia Info: Gydnia Port Information (Fairplay) Cobh Info: (Info about U.S. $100 Bills) Portland Info: Portland/Castine Excursion: Portland to Castine the day we arrive back at our home berth has been designated as a possible "excursion day". The U.S. Coast Guard has been asked to grant us a permit to take extra persons on board above our vessels certification. To do this we have to have certain lifesaving procedures and equipment on board. Accordingly the numbers we can take are strictly limited. We, of necessity, have limited our guests to 2 persons per upper class student on cruise (immediate family members only) plus official MMA invitees and crew member guests. We can not offer more because we do not have the lifesaving capability. Also this is always a tentative adventure which because of weather, security, operational difficulties etc. may be cancelled up to the last moment. The security issue is becoming a big item in how we offer and execute these excursions, so for those who are planning to attend please be patient with the necessary procedures.
