We had such a good time with this great crew! We wish we had more wind this week to get in more sailing on Ciganka. But when we did sail this crew did such an amazing job at each task. They were very fast learners and wanted to do it right. But we did take advantage of the calm weather and did a lot of snorkeling which was fantastic. We even did an evening snorkel and saw a big turtle, some huge lion fish, sting rays, and a huge black grouper. We thank the crew for keeping such a great attitude all week long. You were all a joy to have on board. Please come back!!
