Today, we had ten slightly tired but excited new students arriving aboard Argo. Within the hour, Anna was halfway up the mast of Argo, reattaching one of our topping lifts. Minutes later, all hands were called to store the hundreds of items of groceries that we just purchased to stock us up for our trip. And so it begins. Life on Argo is intense, exciting, and all-inclusive. We believe in hands-on learning, and it begins on Day 1. We started today with novices. In 3 weeks, they will be Argo. They will know what she needs to do, how to execute it, and most importantly, how to work together as a team. Today, we started the process of forming this team. Tomorrow, we will become a crew.
