a drink with the captain of the U.S. Polarstar

filed under: tasmania events

Allright – sometimes it’s just funny what some contacts can bring about. Thanx to Libby from Jane Franklin Hall we were invited to a welcome party of the Australian American Association aka American Australian Association for the crew of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter ‘Polarstar’ last wednesday who accompanies 20 scientists to Antarctica. The crew was really cool (greetz to James and Sarah!) and finally we made it having a drink with the skipper of the Polarstar, a nice guy and currently the oldest active captain in the US coastguard.

Today Paul from the Polarstar crew gave us an exclusive guided tour around the ship. It was a bit of the feeling at the submarine in the movie ‘Das Boot’ directed by Wolfgang Peterson – of course even if the Polarstar belongs to the US coast guard it has no military function at all.

So big thanx Paul for showing around!

And to the whole crew: Enjoy your trip South!
Special greetz to Sarah and James ;-) Take care.

Jochen, Flux & Florian
