I think there was an issue with the amount. 100 hours or so is going to come to quite a sum. Plus, it's based on the ship being a commercial vessel, due to it charging fees for visitors. Except, as I understand it, there is no charge. Even if there were, it's unlikely to raise the better part of half a million dollars. https://mail2.virginmedia.com/appsuite/# > On 17 July 2016 at 17:19 Paul <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I hope the fundraiser helps.
