The Trip Was a Trial Run Before a Much Longer Vacation
Arthur planned the week on the Bluebelle as a trial run for a months-long vacation around the world. As an accomplished sailor in his own right, Arthur wanted to take his family on a more ambitious trip if they could handle being at sea for a week. Everything was going great, and the family was having a lovely time aboard the ship.

The family spent the week snorkeling, spearfishing through crystal waters, exploring uninhabited islands, and dining on fresh seafood with locals. The vacation seemed like it would be the best, even if it were just a preview of a grander adventure. After lots of fun and sun, the Bluebelle began its journey back to Florida on November 12.
