Full Service!

Every time we are ready to ride, the bikes are already unloaded onto the dock for us. Serge, Tara, and either Hari or Ivan work as a team of three. Serge lifts them over the rail of the boat to one of the sailors standing on a ledge, who then hands it down to Tara on the dock. When we are done, Tara, who is quite strong, lifts all 30 bikes, weighing 55 lbs each, up to the sailor who passes them up to Serge, who lifts them back over the rail and puts them in place! They also charge the batteries each night and make sure everything is in good condition.

Every morning at breakfast we have a briefing for the day. Then another short brief about the ride just before. We are encouraged to spread out on the ride and take our time. Stop to take pictures and admire the view, get a drink. Whatever. Either Serge or Tara leads the ride, and the other stays at the back to make sure no one gets lost!Read more
