Swimming

18 January 2016

Update by trainee Jan ten Dam:
“We have been on our way for over two weeks now and were reaching warm and comfortable weather. It’s odd that we are in the Northern hemisphere on the 18th of January and it feels like summer. Temperatures in the afternoon are reaching 24 degrees Celsius. After practicing a man overboard drill we stop for a little while to give everyone the chance to swim. A lot of the crew and trainees do and a few even swing from the ship into the water with a rope from the yard. I decided not to swim but to do a photo round in the dinghy to shoot photos of the ‘Oosterschelde’. We end the day completely in style with a beautiful sunset. We look back at another beautiful day at sea.”
