Into Hong Kong

Victoria Harbour recently welcomed a very special guest to its waters, with the
arrival of the Colombian Navy’s training ship: ARC Gloria on 23 August. The
Hebe Jebes team jumped at the chance to climb on board the 1,300-ton vessel to get
a taste of navy life at sea, during its five day mooring in Hong Kong. The 45-yearold ship set sail on 3 May 2013 to begin its 73rd training cruise, spanning 23,809
nautical miles, which would see it visit 12 foreign ports in just 218 days.
