Today probably in the afternoon, the ship will be refloated after 12 days sitting on dry ground. When the ship goes back to French Polynesia, a whole new M/S Paul Gauguin will be sailing around French Polynesia’s beautiful islands and lagoon. But whatever refittings had been done to the ship, my attention and interest for this very moment is not about the ship anymore. What I cared the most at this time is that I am soon leaving the ship and will be flying home tomorrow…. Yes! Exactly one day more and the day is counting down. Here in Forgacs Cairncross Shipyard, the ship undergone the mandatory drydock. Forklift, sizerlift, cranes, heavy vehicles and of course drydock men were attending the ship 24 hours non-stop. Balconies were fitted on previously non-balcony staterooms and the ship is refurbished with all new carpets all around. I noticed that the purple stripes on the ship’s side were replaced with turquoise green (I am not actually sure if I mentioned the right color) but anyway it looks cool as well. See the ship below:
