TALOFA SAILS WITH THE CHILDREN OF CASA HOGAR

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

On Feb. 15th Talofa took 22 orphans for a sail on board Talofa. Captain Cactus and I wanted to share our ship and this amazing enviornment with them. The boys were trully delightful, well mannered and trully happy to be on board. We always have the kids interact with us by hauling lines, steering the ship and feeling apart of the crew. A hardy lunch of Hot dogs and juice were served before heading back.

LOS CABOS CHILDREN’S FOUNDATION SAIL ONBOARD TALOFA

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

Talofa hosted a wonderful event for the children under care with the Los Cabos Children’s Foundation. Please see their website www.loscaboschildren.org.

Captain Cactus and I thoroughly ejoy having kids off all ages on board TALOFA. We know how much the children will enjoy this adventure because we have had thousands on board our ship. But these children are special. They are receiving needed medical care from Los Cabos Children’s Foundation. Not one of the kids had been on a ship nor on the ocean before. They look back at where they live on land and begin seeing a bigger picture. These children speak only Spanish so it is lucky to have our volunteer Tour Guide, Nacho, onboard to tell the many stories of the ship and of this area.
