Shortly after just nearly sinking along some of the most Southern islands of Alasksa, on the lound horn came Captin Buzz of the MV Explorer (ran by the Institute for Shipboard Education) DBA Semester At Sea.
From leaving Vancouver in rough seas, Captain Buzz said we were now headed to Midway Island, rather than Japan as we planned originally.
Buzz was informing the 700+ soles aboard the MV Explorer that the ship's crew had successfully restored thrust. By hand starting the engines no less.
All this after a massive rogue wave nocked out power from the ship's bridge. The MV Explorer was disabled. Midway Island was our only hope.
However, the situation improved and Buzz once again updated us that the United States Coast Guard had cleared the MV Explorer to press on to Honolulu.

I edited the video feature and from Hawaii sent the package to Secaucus, New Jersey online. MSNBC aired the story, and Gunnar Larson strived for excellence with new hope in achieving an ultimate goal: Seeing the Gates Millennium Scholar benefactors proud after the S05 shipwreck off the coast of Alaska.
True story.
