Naming of the Ship

On 1 May 2011 La Grace finally reached the European continent, in ancient Greece and Athens, the city of the gods. Here we christened her according to our own customs, that is with a bottle of champagne, and her godmother was a maiden. But so as not to anger the pagan gods either, our first voyage took us to Cape Sounion with a gift for Poseidon, the highest lord of the seas.
