I enjoyed the trip on the Gerda, with Captain H. who ensured that I had my best experience to date.

I highly recommend this trip!

He said to me: Well, I didn’t have any stress because the crew made a good job.
This was what I felt, a peaceful crew, who did their work every day without complaining.
I liked to watch the Boson splicing a perfect eye into the moorings.
