'Stavros S Niarchos' - Open Day

I braved the wind and rain and went aboard the 'Stavros S Niarchos' today as she was open to the public.

I had a bit of sympathy as the weather undermined the best efforts of the crew.

However, a delightful and enthusiastic Rachael showed me around the vessel, and was very patient as I stopped to take a few photos on my way round.

So, despite the weather, the visit was well worthwhile.
