Meet some of my fellow Residents

I feel like I have known Basia the longest, since I have been following her Blog since last summer. Basia was part of the Life at Sea group I was signed up with previously and we had connected via text prior to that proposed sailing, discussing Blog options. I have loved reading her Blog - she takes great photos, loves nature and has taught me so much. After LAS failed to produce a ship on 11/1/23, Basia traveled South America alone and had some great adventures. She left Poland at age 9 and has been a biologist, researcher and then switched to training software applications. Her last home was in Rochester NY. She plans to be on VVR for one full tour or all 18 segments.

I shared the week in the Canary Islands with the above residents.

This gang is my immediate neighbors on my deck. David and Greg are on either side of me and the others a few doors down.

Fellow passionate pickleball friends. Michael is an excellent player and Bill & Clare just learned. We try to play regularly @ 2pm daily.

Fellow Founder Club Members. Stephen in for over $1M. The Hennesse's bought 3 cabins and are renovating into one on deck 7. Holly has great boating experience and I appreciate her insights. Becky & Jeff befriended me early on, and Becky loves shopping & took me.

Who doesn't love a good themed party? This one was a dual Birthday Celebration for two of our favorite gents on the Ship, Eddie & Jim! The theme was wear blue and hats, dinner and dancing! About 90 of us were at dinner and even more came to dance up on the pool deck after.

Below are more of Janette Emerich's fantastic drone photo's that showcase these gorgeous islands. I love Janette's passion for travel and documenting it - she gave a great talk on her RV adventures across Panamerica - I will truly miss her when she goes back to them at the end of February. You can follow her on Facebook if you want to see more.
