The mural rolled out for the first time.

The mural only just fits into the largest room on the ship, the wet room situated below the helideck and right next to the working deck where you can get very close to the ocean. This painting was quite an achievement given the amount of time available. It was like a conversation about everything we had experienced and seen and it had the exuberant energy of a well organised successful and friendly mission. It’s about the people who made it happen and about our feeling and concern for nature.
