CLASS AFLOAT TOP TWENTY

Welcome to our last Instagram Top Ten post of the year! We took a quick break to ring in the graduating class of 2017-2018 but now we've got double the posts to share. From France to Portugal, Ireland to the last few days at sea, we're celebrating a special edition of our Instagram Top Ten with 20 picture perfect moments that capture the incredible experiences of Class Afloat students during their semester or year-long voyage on board the Gulden Leeuw.

Class Afloat [klas əˈflōt] - noun
1. an unconventional school which takes place on a three masted top sail schooner tall ship

First, I just heard people running. Obviously it was Will and Easton, they were coming up to me saying they had signed me up to help with a hot tub, without asking me. I didn’t really get how they wanted to build a hot tub….. on deck…. with ocean water. We mentioned the hot tub a couple times over the next few days, but didn’t really do anything to prepare, we waited until the last minute to start it, and we had no idea what we were doing. We ended up postponing for about 3 days in a row.
