Five Stars!
Bianca came aboard for just shy of a month in Fiji as we cruised the local islands, and was a blast to have on board. We spent untold hours laughing, having amazing conversations, and cooking delicious meals and dessert. In addition to her extensive maritime experience, she is well traveled, insightful, and great company. I hope our paths cross again soon!
