Peace Boat Voyage Continues

Posted on 30. Jul, 2008 @ 11:49 am by harvey in Travel

The Japan-based NGO Peace Boat left Tampa at 12 AM on Tuesday after receiving repairs to damage discovered when they made a scheduled stop in New York after leaving Greenland.

A five-foot by six-foot section of the hull was repaired while the ship was dry docked in Tampa. Other repairs included replacing safety equipment. The passengers were put up in hotels for days while the repairs were made.

Originally Peace Boat was planning to go from New York to Venezuela (itinerary map), but due to the unexpected stay in Tampa the route has been changed and South America will be skipped. The updated itinerary is not available on the Peace Boat website at this time.
