Fryderyk Chopin update.

The 36 trainees who were taking part on a four month sailing trip to the Caribbean on board the "Fryderyk Chopin" are to return home. They are currently staying at a hostel in Penzance, Cornwall. The European Higher School of Administration and Law in Warsaw, has paid for the kids’ accommodation until Nov 9. If the vessel is repaired in situ, the children will return to carry on their with training cruise to the Caribbean. It has been reported that the "Fryderyk Chopin" might be repaired in the Baltic port of Gdynia, although the children would not be allowed to travel with the damaged ship from Falmouth to Gdynia. Works to repair the damaged masts on the "Fryderyk Chopin" are pending a decision by the ship’s insurers, PZU. Inspectors have been onboard the ship three times to examine the damages, with the ship also having undergone inspections by the Polish Shipping Register. Apart from the masts and rigging, everything else is in working order.
