And you are right -- get the rules out the way so everyone can relax and enjoy.<br /><br />Mary Kay - actually, Mark booked this trip months ago, and very generously selected the double room for us and the bunk room for him. Sadly, he did not sleep well. you can imagine the snoring marathon that occurred in his room, and the very little sleep he got. (But as he tells it, he was among the "front runner snorers" making all the noise). Luckily, he's been able to catch up on his sleep since then!<br /><br />At one point, they did start to put up the front sail, but i think it was just for "show". None of the other sails went up. They are on a pretty tight schedule - because as soon as they drop you off, they clean the ship, restock, and another 70 folks get on. So my guess is they don't have time to take a chance using wind power.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13434942178702334897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420658442051690546.post-8896504586630127882012-02-19T12:59:35.095-05:002012-02-19T12:59:35.095-05:00Absolutely beautiful!

And since Stephane enjoys sailing, I have to ask if you used the sails at any point or if you used the engines the entire time.Mary Kay Bossharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08790841060667671034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420658442051690546.post-87670606763698488922012-02-19T09:33:38.664-05:002012-02-19T09:33:38.664-05:00I'm glad your safety briefing was right up fro...I'm glad your safety briefing was right up front--no surprises later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
