Location: Slipway, Antigua
We all finally made it to what will be our home for the next forty days— the magnificent Ocean Star. She’s even more beautiful in person. Her dark wood accents her white finish, and her curves tell us she is ready to take us around the Caribbean. It wasn’t easy getting to her. But all the tests and stress of traveling during these unprecedented times has been well worth it to be standing on her now. We come from all over. Some of us from New Jersey, another from Texas, one from California, and even Great Britain, but now we’re all in the same place to share the same experience. We have our own stories and different perspectives to bring to this boat that will make our voyage into the great unknown uniquely our own. What will find there? What memories will we make? We don’t know yet. But one thing is for certain; we’re all ready to set sail into our next great adventure together and find what lies on the other side of that horizon.
