Unbelievable experience!!!!

My experience on Sea|Mester this past semester was one of the craziest and most incredible experiences of my life. I boarded Vela with no expectations I had never done anything like this before and had never even been on a sailboat. From day one, though, it was an amazing experience. One of the best parts is meeting people from all over the world and making friendships that will last a lifetime. You learn to sail in the most hands on way possible. Before this program, I had absolutely no sailing experience, but I completely fell in love with it. You also get to visit remote and beautiful places that most people will never have the opportunity to see otherwise. Every day brought a new adventure, whether it was sailing, exploring a new island, or working together with the crew. If you're thinking about doing Sea|Mester, my advice is simple: Do it. Go in with an open mind, be willing to learn, adapt, and step outside your comfort zone. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
