In Melbourne you can experience four seasons in one day. However this was not completely what we encountered, still we had to shift from foul weather gear to summer outfit a few times. Luckily for the invitees from Randstad is has been dry so far. The corporate events run throughout the day and evening. The amount of guests that actually show up for these events is big. That indicates that this is a special event for our guests. The fact that we has to sail over half the world to get here must also add to this special feeling. We are making ready for departure. That is Captain Andi Manser and his crew. I will be casting of the lines and see the ornament become smaller. With this, the Beagle project is over for me…
