The coronavirus outbreak has sent a group of 25 Dutch high school students on a trans-Atlantic voyage to get home home.
Dr. Anthony Fauci says a"rolling re-entry" back to normal could begin as early as May.
The organizer of the voyage expects the real lessons for the students will come from making the the five-week ocean voyage of nearly 7,000-kilometers itself. As the virus put more and more parts of the world under lockdowns and grounded airliners, it became clear that the plan to sail the students to the final port of call in Cuba and fly them home from there would need adjusting.
“The Wylde Swan has crossed the ocean some 20 times or more, so for us it’s a routine operation,” Meijer said. The students have gotten over any seasickness by now, but it has not been all smooth sailing. Three weeks into the ocean crossing, the Wylde Swan stopped in the Azores to pick up fresh supplies. Restrictions in place due to the virus meant nobody was allowed off the ship.
