This includes wearing your mask when out in public, keeping a 1.5m distance from others to practice safe social distancing, washing your hands regularly, and not touching your face. If you feel ill or unwell, please remain indoors, and should you experience any COVID-19 symptoms – please consult with your doctor immediately.

Our management plan is based on the standard approach to reducing the spread of Covid-19:

• Company Policies and Procedures We have explored all the governmental and health sector recommendations, and have adjusted our policies and procedures accordingly.
• Risk assessment and adjustment strategies We realise that Covid-19 management is a moving target; we continually update and adjust strategies when necessary.

We have taken into account the V&A Waterfront recommendations and criteria when setting up the procedures: their plans are intrinsic to the safety of the Waterfront, and we work within their parameters. We are constantly monitoring governmental regulations and recommendations, and will immediately adjust our protocols to meet the demands.

Our staff and guests are our lifeblood; we will do everything in our power to keep them safe in this time of crisis. If we all work together in this regard we can beat this virus and Luxury Catamaran Charters can return to a full schedule of cruises in absolute safety.

Roger Federer Just Rocked One of Rolex’s Coolest Sports Watches

By Oren Hartov

Earlier this week, at the New York premiere of his new documentary Federer: Twelve Final Days , tennis icon and Rolex testimonee Roger Federer strapped on the Yacht-Master II ref. 226627—a watch so lightweight that I feared, upon first handling it in Geneva last year, that I might crush it, thus owing Rolex corporate headquarters a check for $14,050 (plus tax).

The ref. 226627 was not Rolex’s first titanium watch—that distinction belongs to the 50mm-wise Deepsea Challenge , which was seemingly designed for James Cameron to wear while plumbing the depths of the Atlantic for sunken ocean liners. The Yacht-Master II, on the other hand, is arguably more exciting: Measuring a more comfortable 42mm wide, it was first spotted on the wrist of skipper (and fellow Rolex testimonee) Sir Ben Aislney back in the fall of 2021. No longer a prototype and now a full production model, it’s crafted from Grade 5 RLX titanium and is available for purchase. ( Theoretically, at least. )

What makes this Submariner-esque watch different from, well, a Submariner ? The two are admittedly similar in design, with a few key differences: There’s the RXL titanium case, of course, but then there’s also the 42mm sizing (as opposed to 41mm on the Sub); a bidirectional timing bezel with a sand-blasted Cerachrom insert (instead of the Sub’s unidirectional dive bezel); the date window (which is only seen on Submariner Date models); and the matching, RLX titanium Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock folding clasp and Easylink comfort extension. (The Sub doesn’t have an available titanium bracelet.)

Other than that, both the Submariner Date and the Yacht-Master II are powered by Rolex’s automatic Calibre 3235 movement with 70 hours of power reserve, and both are made for aquatic use. The Sub, however, is a diver’s watch rated to 300m of water resistance; the Yacht-Master II, on the other hand, is made for sailing and is water resistant to 100m—still respectable, to be sure, but best kept to the deck of a cutting-edge racing craft.

Seeing the Yacht-Master II on Federer’s wrist is more fun than notable—it looks perfectly at home when paired with his dark suit at the photocall, though it's a distinctly sporty piece made to be used and abused. Being a Rolex testimonee, of course, Federer has been spotted in just about every notable Crown offering over the past few years, from the Le Mans Daytona to the Sky-Dweller in precious metals and more. (The man pulls off a dressy 1908 with black tie beautifully, but let’s be real—this is a brand famed for its sport watches, and we’re talking about one of the world’s most renowned athletes.) Having cycled through many of the brand’s most compelling offerings, the only remaining pertinent question is: How do we get Fed into a “Leopard” Daytona ?

New FIREFLY Comic Finally Answers the Show's Biggest Question, But Fans May Not Like It

Superman's powers originally didn't come from the sun, but something much weirder, daredevil gets a gorgeous new costume with 1 change from all previous looks.

• Boom! Studios' Firefly: Malcolm Reynolds: Year One #1 is set to give fans the long-awaited definitive origin story of Captain Mal Reynolds, the protagonist of the beloved, short-lived TV series.
• Year One promises to delve into Mal's past, revealing the turning point that led him into the war, where he truly became the character fans were captivated by on-screen.
• Boom! Studios continues expanding Firefly lore with Year One , adding depth to world of the story, and to the characters who inhabit it.

Captain Mal Reynolds is finally getting the definitive origin story that Firefly fans have waited twenty-two years to see. To this day, there is a great deal of mystery surrounding Mal's background, as neither the short-lived show nor the subsequent movie adaptation offered a proper, complete backstory for the character.

Firefly: Malcolm Reynolds: Year One #1 – written by Sam Humphires, with art by Giovanni Fabiano, in his comic book debut – is set to give fans of the cult-favorite sci-fi western more than just a fresh story set in the Firefly Universe . The story will reveal the truth of how Malcolm Reynolds became the protagonist viewers grew so attached to on screen.

In addition to widening Firefly lore in a significant way , Year One has the chance to tap into some story potential that went untapped for decades.

An upcoming Firefly one-shot from Boom! Studios and author Ryan Parrot explores an alternate continuity in which the Brownshirt faction won the war.

Boom! Studios Firefly Comics Reveal Mal Reynolds' Origin Story

Firefly: malcolm reynolds: year one #1 – written by sam humphires, giovanni fabiano, & gloria martinelli.

Boom! Studios has previously elaborated on Firefly lore with the Unification War series, and now with Malcolm Reynolds: Year One , the publisher takes readers back even further.

Neither Firefly nor Serenity delved into Malcolm's pre-war life, leaving the details of his early years among foremost mysteries the fandom has long craved answers for. Boom! Studios Year One promises to do exactly that. From the details released about the series so far, it seems as though Mal will be immediately recognizable in many ways. As the official solicit for the premiere issue declares:

Despite starting from an unlikely place, Malcolm Reynolds has always been a troublemaker. Becoming a Browncoat was always meant to be. But what unexpected obstacles lie on that path to him becoming the Captain that fans know and love? To him assembling and leading the crew of the spaceship Serenity ?

Or, Year One writer Sam Humphries put it:

It was such an honor to tell the first year of the Unification War and the formative years of Mal. Unfortunately for him, the war isn’t as glorious as we’ve been led to believe. Giovanni, of course, killed it, and when you read this book you’ll be able to say you saw him when.

As Humphries mentioned, Boom! Studios has previously elaborated on Firefly lore with the Unification War series, and now with Malcolm Reynolds: Year One , the publisher takes readers back even further.

Even Firefly: The Unification War – which covered Malcolm's time in the military – only delved so far into the character's history. The show always gave an impression that Mal had been hardened by war, and with their Firefly comics, Boom! Studios' have picked several key periods in his life so that readers can witness that firsthand. Firefly fans should feel confident in the creative team for Malcolm Reynolds: Year One , as well. Sam Humphries previously wrote Firefly: The Fall Guys , while talented artist Giovanni Fabiano excitingly makes his comic book debut on the title. As he said of the project:

It has been a true pleasure working on this project. It was an honor and a great responsibility to create the concept of the young versions of these characters from scratch. I had a lot of fun.

In Firefly: Malcolm Reynolds: Year One , readers will discover for the first time the specific turning point in his life that brought Mal Reynolds into the war.

Firefly Fans Are Long Overdue To Learn The Origin Of Captain Mal

One of the big disappointments of Firefly's time onscreen being so short-lived is that the series never had the opportunity to truly delve into the characters at the center of the show, failing to fully resolve their stories . The show was never afforded the time to deepen the motivations of each character, namely its lead. Now, readers will discover for the first time the specific turning point in his life that brought Mal Reynolds into the war , critically recontextualizing what fans know already from Firefly , which could compel readers to rewatch in a new way after reading.

Firefly: Malcolm Reynolds: Year One #1 will be available on September 4 from BOOM! Studios

Set in the year 2517, Firefly follows the crew of the Serenity, a smuggling ship operating on the fringes of Alliance space. Captain Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) is a veteran of a civil war, bitter about having fought for the losing side and now making his living as an outlaw smuggler out among the distant colonies forgotten and ignored by the Alliance. However, after taking on paying passengers, Mal finds himself caught up in a conspiracy likely to bring the whole Alliance military down on him and his crew.

Out of the Centre

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
