Christmas a world away | Home | Behind the scenes 2: John Bowler

so... what did people get?

Gifts included:

A humorous handmade Guidebook for New Zealand (there are three types of kiwi, apparently: the bird, the fruit, and a species of engineer known as a Nolan ), a beautiful candle holder, jigsaw puzzle, a jar of chutney, an island - plasticine is a wonderul thing, a bookmark (original huh?), a little turtle that wiggles its head.
The bosun got a tshirt saying "Numero Uno Bosuno", not to mention the fantastic electrical maze in the shape of the Esperanza, that rivalled everyone's childhood memories of the electronic boardgame "Operation" - you had to pass a ring around the outline without touching the sides, if it touched, a buzzer would go off.

Felicidades Christian

Muy bonito

I think homemade presents are so much better because they come from the heart! What a great way to celebrate the holidays! Forget about Wal-Mart & Harrod's (they're EVIL)! In fact, I've been unemployed for a while & to save money, I made most of the presents for Christmas this year!

I would like to wish you all happy holidays (on board & on land)! I admire you all & you inspire me in ways that words cannot express!

Had a chance to supply some computer hardware to Greenpeace when they visited South Africa and also visited both vessels while they were in port a experience that i will never forget. Blessings to all aboard and keep up the good work.

That was touchy!
And it sounds so nice. probably, i just have to wait a year to be there, who knows!
