Location: Our Beautiful Argo
The final day is now upon us, which means that it’s time to give back to our amazing Argo. Thanks for keeping us safe and providing us with such a great adventure over the past 40 days. We started early to try to avoid working on deck during the midday heat, and by 10 am, the deck was scrubbed, polished, de-rusted, coiled, put away, and shammied to perfection. As a treat for the 6 am start, Sam cooked everyone a big, full English breakfast to help keep our strength up for the day. Moving below deck, each and every bunk, cupboard, table, bench, head, and floor was meticulously cleaned, followed by a group effort at the galley and saloon. All the shipmates worked extremely hard, and their gratitude to Argo and great work ethic shone through until everything positively sparkled. With the work done, it was time for Cinderella-style transformations as everyone changed from dirty work clothes to their best glad rags for the final group dinner out, farewell drinks, and dancing the night away. With all the students leaving early tomorrow morning, it will be an excellent way to enjoy the company of our new but lifelong friends and say our last goodbyes before the early departures tomorrow morning. This trip has been an amazing voyage. Thank you to everyone for working and playing so hard and being great sports. The crew and Argo would like to wish you all a fond farewell, good luck in all your future adventures, and safe travels. Argo out.
