Royal Clipper day 1

We are on the Royal Clipper a 5 masted square rigged ship with capacity for 228 passengers. This ship has 5050 square meters of sail area.

Under sail on our way to the Grenadines. It is good to meet our sailing companions from 4 years ago. Today will be an afternoon at the beach.

We were making 6.6 knots at last check.

Life Boat drill. Mass organized confusion.
Crew introductions, program information and safety information. Lunch then time for the beach and water toys. Picked up our snorkel gear to use for the week.

We will be anchored in Union Island, Grenadines.

As you may have guessed, I am updating throughout the day because I don't have much in the way of internet service.

After a scrumptious seafood lunch buffet e changed to our suits and took the launch to the beach. We snookered for a while and I took a turn on a paddle board.
We spent some time visiting before returning to the ship.

After more visiting and a shower it was time for a beer and sail off the anchor at 1700. Then to the tropical bar for a snack and music.

Captains welcome back party at 1900 followed by dinner and entertainment. We were told that 53 folks at the party are repeat customers. There are 163 guests on board.
