This special sailing is a joint venture with the North Orlando Bridge Center. We’re pleased to have respected director Glen Martin overseeing the games, along with the always popular Marsha Wicks, who will be offering lessons to improve your play in a friendly and supportive environment.

Our Onboard Teacher
We're delighted to have Marsha Wicks joining us on this cruise as our bridge instructor. Here's how Marsha wanted to introduce herself:
I am a retired Florida educator, so teaching bridge only seemed like the natural thing to do. I am like many others, watching my parents play bridge, but then life got in the way. When I retired, that's when I had time for bridge.
Taking lessons and playing was great, but then I was offered the opportunity to teach and that became my passion. It has been a pleasure to meet and work with a diverse group of people, each bringing their own personality and skills to the table. It is a great joy to see progress at the bridge table, my students and my own.
I look forward to meeting each of you and will be asking for topics for our lessons. The sky's the limit!!
