Location: Road Town, Tortola, BVI
We woke up to the remnants of a squall, like the world was upset. It was our last day. After our foul weather gear was rain-soaked and we had breakfast, we all cleaned our bunks and set into giving back to the vessel we all call home. This is our way of thanking Ocean Star for the safe passage and experience of cleaning her up. All nice for the next voyages. The B.A. was fun, and it was nice to know we were treating our home well. After all, as Dan says, “Boats have souls.” If that’s the case, Ocean Star now looks like the prom queen. After B.A., we signed out of our crew duties, regained our passports, and readied ourselves for a nice, emotional final dinner. None of us can think of a negative word for this experience. It has been epic. We will never forget the friends, skills, and points of self-realization we’ve gained from this journey. Forty days, I would never change.
