Relève des équipages – le Propeller Club s’engage

Dear Captain and Crew,

Already one long year! For one year – at least – your crew and yourself are undergoing the consequences of the COVID 19 pandemic!

Quarantines prior boarding and disembarking, uncertainty of having a replacement as long as substitute is not tested negative, very few or no shore leaves at all, are the troubles you had to overcome during the past months. Governments suddenly closing borders from one day to another, impossibility to divert the ship to a port of call where crew change would be possible, lack of air links… these unforeseen changes are, alas, frequent and bring stress in your life and that of your family!

Nevertheless, you are keeping your ship course « steady », sailing continuously from one side of the world to another, bringing us raw materials and manufactured goods making our daily life easier…

On behalf of our Clubs’members, we wish to express our gratitude for this resilience. This small gift to express our deep appreciation for what you are doing during this terrible crisis, a very modest way to tell captains and crew that we are so grateful!

May these French typical freshly baked baguettes and croissants give you a few minutes of shared pleasure and convince you of our strong support in this pandemic.

Le Havre, March 2021
