We hopped off the ship early to get in line for our sailboating excursion. As it turned out, we were the only two people on a boat of over a thousand retirees interested in an afternoon of rigorous rope-pulling and helm-manning. Private sailing lesson? Don’t mind if we do! We boarded the racing sailboat owned by a woman from Britain who relocated to St. Lucia. Her and her assistant, a St. Lucia local, showed us the ropes (literally).
