ADVERTISMENT

Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, Meghan Cleary and her fiance´ Prescott are about to embark on a 9-month cruise aboard SV Velella. Oh, and the kitten is going too.

Yesterday we, the ASA staff, ducked out a little early to go down to their slip nearby in beautiful Marina del Rey, CA, and wish them well. Here, captured on video, are Meghan and Prescott doing their best to get on Neptune’s good side with champagne. You can spot the rest of us standing around–I’ll let you guess who’s who.

Remember, you can always watch these and all our other great videos on our Youtube channel!

Meghan will be blogging regularly on the adventures of SV Velella, and it’ll all be available right here on the official ASA social media site!
