Adult Voyage

Aye, lad, and here ye go...
 
It was with some trepidation that I boarded the "Fair Jeanne" that Sunday morning in September. No real sailing experience, late in the season, and one very large ship with no-one I knew aboard. I almost didn't go through with it, but it was a gift, so off I went. It was exactly what I was hoping for! Adventure, learning, and meeting new people without any pressure to perform to a standard I didn't have. A caring, knowledgeable crew anxious to "show me the ropes" and help me find my comfort zone. Strangers who became shipmates. And a whole week of life on the water working a Tall Ship!
Thanks so very much- I'm already trying to plan for next year!
