Eli Kari Gjengedal talks to Haakon Vatle.

Haakon Vatle is CEO of the Statsraad Lehmkuhl Foundation, and the architect behind One Ocean Expedition. It was his idea to rebuild the sailing ship into a floating university, and sail around the world.

Haakon began his career as sailor, and ended as director. He is actually a musician, and one of the few who has a master's degree in shanty singing. Here he tells Eli Kari Gjengedal how One Ocean Expedition came to be, and about life on board the sailing ship. NORWEGIAN ONLY

The conversation is an episode in the podcast series "Eli Kari wonders", and was recorded live on October 1 as part of MCB Future week.
