2024-12-24 _ Class Afloat – Merry Christmas 25. Dezember 2024
Happy holidays, merry Christmas, and happy Hanukkah! Last night the DSST crew served us a lovely festive dinner in a transformed mess. Between courses, we floaties provided some highbrow entertainment (ask us for videos later); meanwhile, our watch leads and deck crew blew us all away with their rendition of “Jingle Bells.” Afterward, we danced […]

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.

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 […]
