From the Alps to the Waves: Turin and private mini cruise

Life on Board

All participants are expected to contribute to daily chores, such as shopping, cooking, washing dishes, and cleaning their cabin and common areas; all in harmony and generally without the need for "leadership." The boat's limited space makes team spirit and adaptability essential, but this fosters a sense of camaraderie and a friendly atmosphere. Accommodations on board are in small double cabins.

A Typical Day

Generally speaking, if the distance allows, we sail for a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the afternoon, stopping at anchor for lunch and relaxation. In other cases, if the route is longer or between islands, we sail from morning to afternoon and have lunch while sailing. In the evening, we preferably stop at anchor: nothing is more evocative than an aperitif in the bay at sunset, the spectacle of a starry sky, or a dip in the water upon awakening in the morning! A night in port is often spent midweek, usually in a picturesque location worth visiting. The boats are equipped with tenders and stand-up paddleboards, allowing you to go ashore even if you're anchored.

Itineraries

Each initiative has its own outline program. In the event of unforeseen weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances, the skipper may decide to change the original program at his or her sole discretion.

Common Fund

A common fund will be set up on board each boat by all participants, managed by a volunteer. The skipper is not required to pay the fee. The common fund will cover all expenses for food, port charges, water supplies, and fuel. Any restaurant dinners are not counted towards the common fund. If the common fund is used to pay for these for convenience, the skipper is required to contribute his or her share.

Galley

On boarding day, once you've met the other crew members and are coordinated by the instructor, you'll do your initial shopping at the nearest supermarket, using the shared cash register. Subsequent supplies, especially fresh produce, will be made based on consumption and planned stops.

Fresh Water

On board, fresh water, held in special tanks, is a precious resource and should be used sparingly: every refill inevitably requires a stop at port. Generally, when at anchor, you wash with seawater (sea soap or shampoo is recommended) and use fresh water only for the final rinse. Seawater, where clean, is also used for washing dishes. Small measures, such as not letting the water run while brushing your teeth, will reduce consumption.

Electricity

Cell phones and cameras can only be charged with 12 volts (USB cable required). 220V power will only be available if docked in port and with a cable connected to the dock.

Seasickness

Seasickness has a strong psychological component: the fear of suffering from it, fatigue, and stress contribute to its onset. Normally, within a few hours, the balance centers adapt to the new movements of the boat and everything runs smoothly. Small measures can reduce or eliminate it: eat light, dry, and frequent meals, avoid fatty foods and dairy products; one of the most effective remedies is to take the wheel! If you think you suffer from it, bracelets, chewing gum, or specific medications containing xamamine and scopolamine, available at the pharmacy, may be helpful.

Recommended Equipment

The main rule concerns luggage: it must be a soft bag (not rigid) that can be folded and stowed in your cabin if necessary.

During the day, you generally wear a swimsuit and a T-shirt.

A change of clothes is recommended for cooler temperatures (in strong winds, the perceived temperature drops significantly).

Here's a quick reminder of the essentials: • Swimsuits, shorts, T-shirts, shoes with light-colored rubber soles, comfortable shoes for shore excursions, flip-flops/slippers • Sweatshirts/sweaters, long pants, light raincoat or rain jacket • Sunglasses, peaked cap/bandana • Sunscreen and personal medicine chest pack • Necessary toiletries • 12-volt cell phone charger (USB cable) • Beach towel and hand towels • Bathrobe/microfiber towel (optional but useful) • Fins and masks

INCLUSION INSURANCE IN COMBINED TRAVEL RESERVATIONS

With regard to our inclusion insurance, said insurance exclusively includes those people who have their residence and origin of the trip in Spain or Portugal.

CHAPTER I (Obligations of information and content of the combined travel contract), Article 153 (Pre-contractual information), point 1, section H:

"1. Before the traveler is bound by any package travel contract or corresponding offer, the organizer, and also the retailer, when the package is sold through the latter, will provide the traveler with the form with the standard information regarding to the package trip that appears in annex II, A or B, as well as the following information that is applicable to the package trip:

"h) Information on the subscription of an optional insurance that covers the expenses originated in the event that the traveler decides to terminate the contract or the expenses of assistance, including those of repatriation, in case of accident, illness or death."

Said section refers to the obligation to inform the client of the possibility of contracting insurance, not to the obligation to include insurance on the trip, that is, the client has the power (option) to contract insurance with the agency or not. . The agency has the obligation to inform that it is recommended that the client take out insurance that includes, at least, issues such as repatriation,... which is basically inclusion insurance.

Once the agency informs the client about the recommendation to contract insurance for the trip, it is the client who can contract insurance with the agency, or contract it directly with whoever they want.
