Able Seaman H Posted April 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Just to let you know Handré, a cruise director I'm sure many of you will have cruised with is just starting the London Marathon. He is wearing bib number 36739 if you are watching on BBC 1 in the U.K. Handré has set up a fundraising page to raise money for Cancer Research if you wanted to show your support in a tangible way. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Handre Good luck !

ab21au Posted April 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) I have been following Handre on the Virgin Money app and he is currently in the last couple of k's. He must be running so well and is doing a fantastic time. Well done to him. Edited April 23, 2017 by ab21au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wripro Posted April 23, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 23, 2017 That's a faster time than my taxi driver made the last time I tried to go through town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
findacruise Posted April 23, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 23, 2017 That's a faster time than my taxi driver made the last time I tried to go through town. :') Had the pleasure of Handre as our cruise director in February and he was a delight. Helped make our cruise special. (Along with Katy in TK Grill Lounge and Jackie Asst. CD)He was doing some training and whenever I saw him in Colonnade he was eating a lot of fruit and always bananas.

ab21au Posted April 23, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 23, 2017 To run that time he has done a lot of training or has a talent for running, but probably he has both. Well done Handre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlemichael Posted April 23, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 23, 2017 He has finished in the top 10% - an amazing effort as I know he has had a couple of niggling runner's injuries in the lead up. His efforts in support of cancer research are superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joc123 Posted April 24, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 24, 2017 At so many levels he is the best CD Seabourn has - IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marazul Posted April 24, 2017 #13 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Does anyone know to what ship is Handre going next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjjersey Posted April 24, 2017 #14 Share Posted April 24, 2017 We are back on the Encore in September and Handre said he would be on board, so I guess he will return when he has finished his break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyRollock Posted April 24, 2017 #15 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Agree he's the best CD on Seabourn, possibly of them all, full stop. Congrats to Handre for a fantastic London marathon result. All those eggwhite omelettes for breakfast obviously worked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Luxury Posted April 25, 2017 #16 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Let us not forget that Handre was taught by the best CD my dear friend Barry Hopkins. Sadly missed. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisr Posted April 25, 2017 #17 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Haven't sailed with Handre yet but I loved Barry. What a lovely gentleman. I loved his "conversations" where he invited anyone who wanted to come into the Boardroom and he threw a topic out there to be discussed among the participants. Simply brilliant. I also loved Eric DeGray. So talented, full of energy and a delightful chap. Great showing in the marathon. Congratulations to him. He must be on the tread mills onboard at all hours to be able to train for this. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
