Agree.
What I mean with Estelle is that Vincent and Josephine is at that age where you can, not always, be very conscious about your age. But when they are around 13-14 years old, that doesn't matter anymore.
So yes, Estelle can - and hopefully will - bond with V&J.

Yes, that's what I meant. An extended trip to some countries around the Mediterranean. Most countries in that region have an extended coastline, so it should be possible to make several stops to different ports.
It is possible to send Dannebrog to the Pacific. It will of course be very expensive and need a change of crews at least three times, probably four, not only for Dannebrog herself, but for her escort as well.
It will also take time, months back and forth, because she is not the fastest ship around.
So it would have to be a very long trip, visiting a number of countries over a period of up to several months, where M&F in this vision, will fly in when Dannebrog has arrived at her next destination.
But few will deny, I believe, that she's a beautiful ambassador for Denmark - with the fifth or sixth largest merchant fleet in the world. - Which is an argument for sending her on such a trip.
Being an elderly lady she will also need some maintenance in ports from time to time.
And as such it would be almost discourteous if she was not to drop by Hawaii on her way out or back - and probably San Diego as well.
Likely going through the Panama Canal, she could also visit a number of countries in the Caribbean.
Apart from the old Britania I don't think another royal yacht has ever visit the Pacific before.
I can't of course pretend to speak for the Americans, Australians (and New Zealanders?) or the Chinese, but I think (and hope) she would be welcomed.
One thing is certain, they would have no problems whatsoever finding volunteer conscripts for that journey!
