00:00Dear guests, dear crew, dear family members back at home and everybody following this situation.
00:06My name is Jan Dobrogowski and I'm the captain of the Polar Expedition Vessel Hondius.
00:11I've decided to take this time to thank every single guest and crew member on board here,
00:17as well as our colleagues back home.
00:21The past few weeks have been extremely challenging to resolve.
00:26As I'm sure you know, what touched me the most, what moved me the most was your patience,
00:32your discipline and also kindness, kindness that you show to each other throughout.
00:40I'd see people depend on each other.
00:43There is no readily available rescue services standing by to come to your help in emergencies.
00:49So perseverance is sort of an expected quality, perhaps.
00:55But I've seen, I've witnessed way more, way more this time around.
01:00I've witnessed your caring, your unity and quiet strength amongst everybody on board,
01:07guests and crew alike.
