Energetic guests aboard the mega motor-cruisers SeaDream I and SeaDream II who have just crossed the Atlantic from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean for the northern summer holiday season, are boasting something of a 'feat' with their feet – they collectively 'walked' 1500 of the 5600 kilometre journey.
Activities Directors of each of the 110-passenger motor yachts, James Cabello and Richard Jones came up with the idea to offer guests looking for it, some extra exercise – and at the same time to raise funds for the Miami-based Children’s Bereavement Centre that supports children who have lost a parent.
Those guests on each yacht who took part in the 'Steps for Charity' and some crew as well, got sponsors for each kilometre they briskly walked each day around upper-most Deck 6, and made contributions themselves.
In all they collectively walked over 1500 kilometres, and for those who individually covered 26-nautical miles during each yacht’s Crossing, SeaDream Yacht Club added another $26 to their kitty (as CEO, Larry Pimentel and Chairman, Atle Brynestad both have children who have lost a parent, and Pimentel serves on the Board of the not-for-profit charity.)
A total US$10,000 was raised aboard the two motor-yachts for the Children’s Bereavement Centre.
