BARK EUROPA—celebrating 100 years!! (and Captain Klaas isn’t looking too bad either ♥)

"Our sailing area = Worldwide. Her nickname = Ocean Wanderer."
We take part in tall ship races during the northern summer. We’re in the Southern Ocean every southern summer—Antarctica, Falklands, South Georgia, Tristan da Cunha, Cape Horn & Cape of Good Hope.
Our vessel is better than others, because we sail 12 months of the year
The program we run is blue & icy waters, worldwide
Frustrations onboard include starting the engines
Our program would be better if we had even more worldwide participants with different backgrounds [hint hint!!]
We are based out of Holland
Our crew's favorite hangout (ashore) is the forests of Patagonia [...of course it is!?!]
In the industry, we have a reputation for a sailing tall ship
In the future we hope to go to the Indian Ocean
In tall ship races we generally stand out
If our vessel was reincarnated as an animal it would be a white bull—our figure head is Zeus in the form of a white bull, because that is the shape he took to take Europa (the princess) hostage
If I had to guess her favorite color, it would be white [see above]
