Ahoy from the mayercraft carrier 2!  We are pulling out of the dock as I type and the horn literally just blew.  Today is my day to blog, and I wanted to introduce you to a special guest and family member of the Sixthman team, Ms. Hen, aka Laurens lil sis. Hen volunteered, after I strapped her hands to the keyboard, to share with us the insiders’ view of the first day on Mayercraft Carrier 2:

Dear blog,

I feel like that’s how you’re supposed to start these. I’m a blog virgin, so bare with me.

I haven’t been on one of these cruises in over a year and man have I been going through withdrawals. The energy, eagerness and passion for music that all of the people on board have can be a little overwhelming, but is without a doubt one of the most amazing sights to witness.

I was lying on the lido deck this morning and when I first got there it was fairly empty. So I laid my towel down, and sat and watched the deck fill up. The mix of people on this boat is unreal. If you went up to every person on this boat and asked them 10 questions about themselves I guarantee you everyone would have very different answers. The fact that music can bring such a diverse group of people together to not only enjoy a show or two but also actually come together and form bonds that they never would have made before blows my mind. And I can’t tell you how excited I am to be a part of it.

Can’t wait for what’s in store for the week.

Hen
