Setting Sail...

It was hard to contain our excitement about finally boarding the Nikola after all the years of planning. Here Jimmy is wearing the new family shirts that Bill and Nina had made for us.

Before setting sail, we were called into the dining room for a quick safety briefing with the crew. That first evening, we had dinner aboard. The other days, we had breakfast and lunch on board and ate dinner ashore.

Everyone gathered at the front of the ship for a photo just as we were setting sail.

And so the White Girls’ Milestone Tin Can Barefoot Upside-Down Croatia Cruise began on Sunday, July 28 in Dubrovnik.
