Thursday evening was a great success and we would like to thank everyone who came and everyone who helped or contributed in anyway.

The event started at 6 pm with a blessing of the boat and crew by Father Gomez. It was a cool breezy night where the boat's battle flags and Caribbean Airlines banners could be seen fluttering in the wind. Small speeches were made as the Atlantic crossing crew was presented with various significant sailing objects.

| Trinidadian sailing legend, Harold La Borde, presented the team with a sextant, as well as explained to the crowd how this instrument is used |
After all the formalities were completed, it was at last dinner time! There were fresh made sausages straight off the grill, and empanadas and samosas right out of the fryer. Thanks to Pedro and Joanna for organizing all the delicious food! Dessert consisted of a tea plate with miniature sized cupcakes, eclairs and fruit tarts that surely satisfied everyone's sweet tooth. Thank you Dominic for the yummy desserts.
