Calypso

The second session of the summer is only a couple hours away from starting, and the staff aboard Calypso is eagerly awaiting our first shipmates to walk down the dock. Today has been a very busy day making sure that the boats are fully equipped for the days that are ahead of us so that we are ready to simply throw off our docking lines and start our adventure. Upon arrival, the shipmate's will check-in, hopefully, call home (if they aren't too distracted by the crystal clear water) and start hanging out with the rest of their crew. As soon as we have everyone aboard our boat, we will enjoy a tortellini dinner together in the cockpit where the shipmates really have the opportunity to wind down and get to know one another. After dinner and showers, many shipmates choose to sleep below the starry sky on their first night, cozily rolled up in a hammock. Hopefully, everyone will get a good night's rest so they will be well-rested for our first sail tomorrow! We will sail to the caves of Norman Island and have our first dip in the Caribbean Sea " it tends to be the highlight of their day. For the next couple of weeks, the group is going to experience amazing things together, and we are so excited to share this experience with them! Welcome to La Bella Vita " we are going to have an amazing time!
