Helping Hands

You may have seen some people onboard the WTP other than Alan, Trevor, and myself. Although there are three permanent crewmembers onboard, we prefer to travel with four. The fourth, or Guest Crewmember helps spread the burden of labor while underway. Having the additional person means an additional watch cycle (more time off), an extra hand for boat work, and some added conversational variety. Despite the lavish lifestyle, the Guest Crewmember does not get their own berth, but rather sleeps on the settee.

You may have already gotten to know Liz back in November. Liz is a good friend from Newport News and was instrumental in helping us get off the ground and make our way south. Unfortunately, Liz had to leave us in Florida.

To help us with our next leg, we were lucky to have my good friend Deb onboard. She joined us right before leaving Coconut Grove and is with us until Nassau.

Thanks again to our Guest Crewmembers! Although they might not be as visible through the EYE of the World educational program, they play an important role onboard!
