What a time we all had!

I don't know what we expected, but the cruise on Arabesque was the ultimate vacation. From the time we boarded the crew worked with us to make our trip memorable and I didn't have to organize a thing! You know how we love to sail and we were pleased that something so comfortable could sail so well. Most of the days we took short morning sails arriving at our anchorage by noon. A delicious lunch was served topside under the canopy, and we spent afternoons snorkeling, in crystal clear waters, water skiing, playing with the sailing dinghy or windsurfing. A couple of afternoons we tested our land legs exploring little villages and strolling deserted beaches.

Elegant dinners each evening made us think we were in a four star restaurant rather than on a sailboat, but what we miss most is sitting in the cockpit under the stars enjoying cappuccino, warm breezes, relaxing conversation and good friends. The main saloon was huge with lots of pretty Caribbean colors and each of the cabins had queen size bunks and individual heads with stall showers. Everything was so light and airy.

None of us can believe it is over and now we are looking at our scrapbook. We're thrilled that you will be joining us next year.
