Unknown luxury

After a few beautiful daytrips in Portugal we are now heading to the North.
Standard procedure on every trip is an abandon-ship-drill. Our sloops are to be used for guests, while the crew assembles in the life rafts. With only three passengers however we all fit in our sloop. You can tell from their faces this is an unknown luxury!
 
By regularly practicing we train our crew to handle any kind of emergency and to prevent chaos in case of a real situation. On this trip to Norway we will be exercising fire drills, collision drills, man-over-board drills and a training in how to handle panicking or wounded passengers.
