The Icelandic water is the calmest water I have ever
seen. The smooth sea surface strikes a sharp contrast with the rugged terrain
on the horizon. If you steam ahead, you would see seagulls sitting in the water
bobbing across the crests of a replica of a ship’s wake from a physics
textbook; if you shut the engine, your ship would gently come to a stop and
stay there to admire the serenity. What is there to do? Boat ride! With
instructors’ supervision, three groups of cadets lowered the rescue boat and
the two rafts and took them for a ride around the ship. While all the training
was going on, my untrained eyes saw them having a great time chasing seagulls,
which loved to play along.
