Marjorie Merriweather Post's Historic Yacht in the Caribbean

Sea Cloud is among the world's largest, most opulent private sailing yachts. Originally commissioned by heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post and her husband EF Hutton in the 1930s, this beautifully restored vessel offers a rare chance to return to the golden age of sail.

I was lucky enough to be a tour leader sailing on the Sea Cloud in various destinations around the world in the 80s. Magical times!

How did you end up with that job? So curious.

@@KS-bo7rm I started.out in a travel agency that did tours for universities and museums. They had tour leaders that took the groups around the world and I knew I would be better doing that than being in an office. I adored it. It was very hard work and I got into some very scary situations in some dodgy places but every minute was worth it. There are agencies looking for people to do this job. I had languages and an international affairs degree but you don't necessarily need that. You need a sense of adventure and people skills. 😀

Sea Cloud was almost as beautiful and as great as the lady who commissioned her in the first place. Marjorie Merriweather Post. God bless her.
