From the balcony of our cabin, which was a few meters behind and slightly above the bridge, we had often watched the bridge team in action when setting sail. On the port bridge wing, one of the bridge officers explained us the functions of the control stand with all its displays and levers.

On this last day at sea of our journey I was in for something special.
