Staying on the Pekona was one of the most pleasant and exciting things that I have ever done. My sister and I stayed two nights with an 8-hour sailing trip in between. I highly recommend sailing with Chris. It's worth every cent. Just be sure to plan to stay at least two nights on the boat. Be sure to have reasonable expectations, understanding that staying on a boat this size is somewhat like staying in an RV as far as space. It's not a luxury liner with large staterooms. If you go with the right attitude, you won't go wrong. Since it's an unusual experience, be sure to ask questions so you understand everything about it. Chris will give you all the tips and information you require. He's a fantastic host and he did everything he could to provide a great experience, even going way beyond my expectations.
