Great Crew
Christine is an experienced sailor who’s a joy to have onboard. She knows her way around boats, makes friends easily and has a keen eye for what needs to be done onboard. Her galley creations are fabulous. She immediately took control of the ship’s provisions and we had a fun few weeks sailing down the Caribbean.
