【団役員コメント:セタキス ラリー ジョン】 Today was the day for the onboard sports festival, and it has been a busy day! The students organized the event themselves and spent all of the morning preparing. The event kicked off after lunch, and not only the students, but also some of the teachers and crew joined in as well. We had a lot of fun playing games, like the human ring and Chinese whispers, but the most popular was the arm-wrestling contest. After many rounds of cheers, shouts and clapping one of the students was crowned champion. However, his reward was not a gold medal, but the chance to wrestle with the ship’s boat swain. It was a titanic struggle, and the students cheered their champions, but in the end the boat swain won out. As a reward for the students’ efforts in putting together such a great festival, the captain out the best prize of all: everyone was allowed to take showers today! In the evening, the students all gathered together and had a “Thanks for you hard work party,” complete with a little cake for everyone. It has been full and enjoyable day here on little ship in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
