Past Charters

  This was our second time with Troop 235 from Hampstead, NC. But the first time was 7 years ago. It was about time you all came back! What a week we had! The weather gave us wonderful wind for 5 of the 6 days and this crew became a sailing machine to be reckoned

  A fun and happy crew that kicked it into gear and became a fine sailing crew very quickly! Because of several circumstances this was a smaller crew than we usually have on board. But they made a BIG impression. In no time at all these 7 Scouts were running the ship! They didn’t need

  It was such a joy to see these mother/daughter pairs side by side in every thing they did….snorkeling, beach walks, galley duty, exploring Hope Town, checking out Nippers, eating, reading, climbing the Hope Town lighthouse, cruising in the stretch limo dinghy, and hanging out on Ciganka. This week was focused on making the most

  The week began with a tease of weather. It was either a rain squall coming through with 50 knot gusts or no wind at all. That made it tough to get the sails hoisted the first couple days. But we used our time in doing some amazing dives on the southern end of the

  This week began about 6 years ago by a comment from Lydia saying we should go sailing sometime when the kids get a bit older. And true to her word she and Ann made it happen. They called the Rader family who’s kids were friends with Ann and Lydia’s. Without much hesitation the Rader

  The weather was amazing, the sailing was amazing, the snorkeling was amazing, and YES – the Troop was amazing!! Seriously, this week’s weather was so wonderful. We had 4 great days of wind that gave the crew ample practice to become very skilled in each job that needed to be done in order to

  By the end of the week Troop 13 was running this ship in its entirety! They were up bright and early in the morning, drink crew did their job, up went the sun cover, and breakfast crew was ready to go! Not a word needed to be spoken by the Captain or Admiral to

  What a tremendously fun, kind, happy, interesting, eatin’ and drinkin’ Crew! In spite of challenging weather, heavy ocean surf, and mosquito infestation one night these guys made the most of their week in every way they could! The first three days were light to no wind but a heavy ocean surf raged due to

Had a fantastic week with a fun crew! We did it all – we had some awesome sails with strong winds, did some incredible snorkels, got conch so Linda could make her famous conch fritters, sailed over to ManJack and Green Turtle, hiked to the ocean side of ManJack, rode in the back of a

  A very close knit, helpful, kind crew showed up on Ciganka ready to make the very most of their week on board. And we did it up! Many of the Scouts had never snorkeled before so when they saw the amazing sea life on the ocean reefs they were hooked! They took advantage of

  We had this Venturing Crew on board Ciganka 6 years ago to the day. Five of the “original” crew came back for Round #2! We had such a stellar week! They were fast learners and became top notch sailors early in the week. Our conch hunt was successful and so were the delicious conch

  An amazing group that spanded 3 generations on board! As part of the group we had Grandpa, his son, son-in-law, and 3 grandsons! It was a perfect weather week and we took advantage of every moment of it! While snorkeling these guys got to see several sharks and turtles, we got a lot of
