We always have several meetings, dinner parties, and outings with those who are interested in going on the trip with us. Always want to make sure that everyone's personalities mesh with each other, and explain all the details and what it is really like.

We have four avid sailors in our party and the rest of us do what the captain tells us without asking questions, and help do whatever needs to be done. We have been lucky and on every trip have found people that do all of these things.
