That moment when you make landfall and come alongside is always MAGICAL! Here in St Lucia, the crew was welcomed with cocktails from the @arc_rally and fellow sailors on other yachts came to congratulate our crew.
Especially, @inekevanderweijden - Skipper on one of the @rubicon3sailing yacht - came to give a big hug to our 1st Mate @phoebe.unfurled . Ineke is Phoebe’s mentor as part of @themagentaproj and has been supporting Phoebe through her career development. Ineke is also a Skipper for @panexplore.
We are very proud to support women in sailing and create job opportunities for the women of @themagentaproj and beyond!

SV Sea Dragon is an ex-racing yacht - a Challenge 72 - refitted for expedition. What awaits you is the real life of a sailor, including comfortable bunk beds! The luxury is that you get yours and yours only! No hot bunking here!
Here, Rob is demonstrating how to get into a berth we’ll be decommissioning in March this year to make more space for all guests! Just in case we don’t have a Ballet Dancer 💃 onboard to fit them in it!
