"What's going on aboard the Royal Polaris...First, the engineers: The engineer team is Billy, Eddie, Jonathan, and Evan. First thing is they took out the port and starboard gearboxes and did major work on them, installed new sump-tank on starboard side, and then installed new plumbing to the heads downstairs.

"Then there's the paint crew (Roy, Kenny, Ralph, and Chris). There has been sanding, bounding, painting, you name it, they have been hard at work. Chris has installed new electrical outlets on the ceiling in the galley. That brings me to "Big D". Dharyl has been hard at work, sanding and varnishing. Believe me when I say 'The Crew Works Hard For Their Money'. We will keep you informed and updated on our daily events. The phone has been on the blink, that's why no reports, but we are back in action."
