Antigua 2/10/18

After a day at the beach we walked our suitcases over to the Tradewinds Marina for check in. We were told that our intended Flagship boat, New Beginning, had a broken engine, so we were moved to Further, a 59 foot luxury boat. Needless to say, we were not too happy, but our wonderful crew made up for the change.

Ben: Our 25 year old Captain from Ireland who will also be our dive master.

George: Our Romanian First Mate and mixologist.

Alett: Our South African chef extrodianare

After the spread that Alett had set out for us in welcome to Future, we enjoyed some wine and learned about our crew. They each told their story of what led them to Tradewinds.

Our friends Pat and Wands from our St. Martin cruise last year brought Boat Shirts for all of us! I brought ocean themed bracelets for the ladies.

Here is a typical cabin on Further.
