The R.V. Celtic Explorer set sail last night (8pm Newfoundland/11:30pm Ireland) from St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. Below are photos of the the international team on board the R.V. Celtic Explorer.
There was even a special surprise for the team as they left St. John's as team member Niall Keogh tweets:
