VOYAGE DESCRIPTION
Join Maybe Sailing on board Tall Ship Maybe for an Ocean crossing from the Spain to Wales.
This voyage is for those who want to experience life at sea. To fully immerse themselves into the life of an ocean sailor and to challenge and push themselves out of their comfort zone. You will be expected to stand a watch, sometimes in a 2 watch rotation of 4 hours on and 4 hours off. Crossing the Bay of Biscay at this time of year can often offer challenging sailing conditions. The voyage begins in A Coruna, where we will go through all safety briefings and deck briefings before leaving A Coruna.
