Naming of the Ship

Naming of the Ship

On 1 May 2011 La Grace finally sailed to the European continent, to ancient Greece and the city of the gods, Athens. Here we named La Grace according to our own customs – with a bottle of champagne, and her godmother was a maiden. :-) But so as not to upset the pagan gods either, our first voyage led to Cape Sounion with a gift for the supreme lord of the seas – Poseidon!
