Training now for the arrival of students this week

I made it to Nassau in one piece January 9th and am quickly learning all the important sailing lingo they insist upon before the students arrive this Wednesday (January 12, 2011):

[1] We are on a "educational voyage" (with emphasis on education) not a "cruise",
[2] We are aboard a "ship" not a "boat",
[3] We each stay in a "cabin" not a "room"
[4] The "back" and the "front" of the boat are the "aft" and the "fore"

There are some amazing professors teaching the other classes with lots of global experience (I am humbled).  My room is larger than I thought and I actually have room to store ALL the stuff I brought with me!!
