2024-12-06 _ Class Afloat – Happy Birthday, Lukas!

For your present, we got you to Mindelo, Cabo Verde, one day early! After a whirlwind of a day with classes in the morning and deep ship cleaning after lunch, we were all able to go ashore and start exploring this beautiful island. An unexpected highlight was the return by water taxi to the Alex-2 at night. She looked like a jewel floating on inky waves. Hopefully that image distracted you from wondering how we all got back on board.
