HEY GUYS!

New Q&A video, this time I'll be answering Jig and Collin's questions!

I won't lie, I had a bit too much fun with this one! xD

Some extra content about the Night of the Storm® I didn’t add to the video, in case you’re curious! xD

On the wind scale (which is 0-12, 12 being a hurricane) our storm was rated 11. It was also raining like in a biblical flood.
A guy almost fell overboard - a containing door hit him on the chest and he was nearly thrown over the railing. Had he not held on, he would’ve been lost at sea and that still makes my whole body shiver!
Waves were apparently around 6-7 meters high and we were thrown around like rag dolls. Some people on the ship had been sailing for over 20 years and said this was one of the worst storms they had ever experienced. 2 people got knocked out cold!
I managed to balance and serve 8 ice cream bowls on a tray to a full table - people clapped when I was finished like in a tumblr story
Around 2:00am I was too seasick to finish my shift and was dismissed because of show dangerous it was if I wasn’t able to keep my balance!
I’ll tell this story forever, to everyone who has ears. My poor grandchildren!

Now, after all that we all felt like family. I’ll forever miss everyone in that ship, and the bond we built in such a short time. The crew was amazing and everyone was always cheerful and ready to help each other!

And because of that, we were able to overcome the storm and enjoy some of the most insanely surreal and exciting days of our lives! Long live the beautiful Eendracht!

Thank you guys so much for your incredible support!

I would absolutely love to know your thoughts on this video, and if you've ever been on a Tall Ship or would like to sail one day!
