Back on Zen - Falmouth Antigua

8 carry ons and 11 checked bags


We (2 adults, 2 kids, 8 carry-ons and 11 checked bags) flew from Boston to Antigua yesterday. The excitement of getting out of the house and onto our boat was immense. The whole thing went off without a hitch. We'll now unpack, organize, start up boat systems and slowly get back into the boat-life we love so much. Hope all of you are enjoying the summertime with your families! Stay tuned for more of the Burgess Family Adventure.

Happy to be back on board!


From Monique: when I post these, if I am lacking photos from crew...I'll add some random sailing ones to keep it fun!
