Tall Ship Soren Larsen New Zealand Sailing adventure for all ages

Tall Ship Soren Larsen 2007 ~ South Pacific Sail Training Adventure for all ages

Voyage 251 Tahiti downwind to the Cook Islands

Dan Heywood sailed the trade winds westwards on Soren Larsen
through the Society Islands

The trip I took on the Soren Larsen was such good fun and a wonderful experience. There was laughs from the sunday night singings to swabbing the decks. I found it amazing how light hearted the crew was, who had a song and joke for a lot of moments.

I will remember most days on Soren for how much fun they were, especially the tarzan rope and the crew helping to teach me to do my first backflip, which I did.

The work as well I found was huge fun, from bracing the sails to going aloft. Also taking the helm made me feel like I was in one of the those pirate films which was a cool feeling.

I'm going to miss this experience and next time I get a chance to do it again I will.

Thanks to all the crew; Barry, George, Gareth, Maho, Carl, John & Jon, Alison & Alison, Cath, Miranda, Darren and Emma. Also thanks to the other voyage crew. Everyone made the days too short!
