Green Dragon's mascot, Padraig, is taking on some of the shades of Britain's Paddington - the Bear from Darkest Peru. He is seen below wearing sunnies, sailing shorts, and both helming and trimming, although not grinding - yet! (The human crew probably want to do this job to keep warm at present.)
Did someone remember to pack Padraig's passport?
