It looks like this trip was mainly about booze :) I have already wondered about it after I saw the first photo :)
I have never been sailing and I didn't even know that there were such organized trips. It sounds like a lot of fun. And as you said, the best part of it is that you meet new people.
I've been looking on that photo with ruins for a minute or two but the only thing that I see are rocks :)
I like that paragliding experience.. oh, and you shouldn't have killed the joke :) I can imagine his facial expression when you told him that it was your boat :)
Great photos, nice story! Thank you for sharing and have a good day!
