Flying Across the Baltic Trip 1&2 - 2009 - Flying Dutcman
As the story goes the Flying Dutchman was doomed by God to sail the 7 seas for eternity, because the Captain made a deal with the devil to reach Cape Good Hope in time. Luckily this is just a legend, and both the Captain and his ship would not need any devilish deals when sailing the races. You can go sailing on an International Exchange with 24 other people from European Countries. A lifetime exprience!Sponsorship

The gloomy mood of our first mile on the way to `The Battle of DrakeŽ is suddenly interrupted when Klaas yells out `Whale off the starboard bow!”
All the crew reacts promptly and even de masts bend over to starboard to see what’s going on. The goodbye-to-Antarctica sadness prompts everybody to feast their eyes on this last antarctic treat.
Somebody somewhere must have thrown a small fortune in the whale-machine. We get to see four whales playing together in a quarter of a mile circle around Europa. Every lack of a diving whale tail in any camera is made good.
The four are toying with us: disappearing and surface right next to our ship, swim under the ship from port to starboard, wave a white fin at us, demonstrate skills in backstroke… Antarctica does not let us go yet.
A ship full of people applauds the whale-show and is two bits less sad for the moment.
