2024-12-18 _ Class Afloat – Our 100th day of Class Afloat 19. Dezember 2024
Yesterday we celebrated our 100th day of Class Afloat! It’s hard to believe that we all became a group only so many (only so few?) days ago. To mark the occasion, we did a deep ship clean in the morning that would make our grannies and grampies proud. After lunch, we indulged in games that […]

We returned to quiet days on the Alex yesterday. Some highlights of the day were Jurgen the bosun’s birthday (happy 72nd!) and the shortbread with fruit sauce that Abby the chef made to celebrate. Everyone is looking ahead to the coming holidays. Some of us are looking a little further ahead to the exams coming […]

2024-12-14_ Class Afloat – A joyful start to the day 15. Dezember 2024
Everyone who came to breakfast yesterday morning stopped in their tracks as soon as they walked into the mess. They would stand frozen in the entryway for a few seconds; their only movement: a smile that would spread slowly across their faces and up into their eyes. A great big THANK YOU to Watch […]

All is well now: we are headed back across the Atlantic to Suriname, and our […]

We had amazing chocolate-chip pancakes for breakfast and a yummy stir-fry for dinner but the highlight was the home-made (boat-made?) mac ‘n’ cheese for lunch! Our new chef, Abby, is making such delicious meals for us. We […]

2024-12-09 _ Class Afloat – Last day in Cabo Verde 10. Dezember 2024
Well, today should have been our last day in Cabo Verde but life had other plans. We ended up having a whole extra day here. In the morning, all the floaties gathered together for a SoCo Community Check-in session before embarking across the Atlantic. We remembered how important it was to be kind and caring […]
