巡航する to the （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域

Ever since New Orleans 禁止（する）d played on the Mississippi riverboats a century ago, the blend of jazz with water has been as natural as whisky and rye. That tradition is still alive - but rather than steamy, exuberant New Orleans, 長，率いる for the Caribbean instead.

And forget 大規模な 巡航する ships with 1,000 cabins, tired comedians and shops galore - the setting is as intimate as the most laid-支援する of clubs in the French ４半期/4分の1.

You can soak up the music while taking a 旅行 支援する in time to a golden age of the sea when clippers, such as the Cutty Sark, 支配するd the waves.

They earned their 評判s as the greyhounds of the sea by racing home with astonishing 速度(を上げる） 負担d with 貨物s from the Far East and Australia 150 years ago.

These wonderful 大型船s have been recreated by 星／主役にする Clippers, which operates the world's three tallest sailing ships.

With 3,344sqm of sails, four masts and at just 113m long, the 星／主役にする Clipper has just 84 cabins. On my Treasure Islands 巡航する, which began in St Maarten, there were 90 乗客s, 70 乗組員 from 28 countries and, of course, an excellent six-piece jazz 禁止（する）d.

From the moment we 始める，決める sail to Anguilla, our first port of call, there is a sense of adventure.

Informality 支配するs

適切な, informality was the 指名する of the game. There was open-seating dining with no nonsense about jackets and 関係.

Along with the a la carte dinner there was a special jazz menu every evening, based on favourite recipes of 最高の，を越す musicians such as the Millionaire Meatloaf of Joe Henderson and the Wailers Chicken of Arthur Taylor.

Every night the versatile Inez Timmer 禁止（する）d played different jazz styles in the popular 熱帯の 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業.

同様に as live music, there was a （着弾の瞬間に破裂する）着発 workshop run by エース drummer Jelle Douma and a 罰金 illustrated talk on the blues by British guitarist John C Marshall.

The Dutch drummer 説得するd 25 of us to 選ぶ up drumsticks and practise （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域ing out his riffs in unison. 承認する - we didn't sound like Buddy Rich but it was terrific fun.

Each day there was a new port of call and the compact size of the ship made it 平易な to stop at the small British Virgin Islands such as Virgin Gorda. On Jost 先頭 Dyke the dazzling White Bay Beach was perfect for a barbecue …を伴ってd by music.

Best stop of the lot is unspoiled St Kitts and the chic atmosphere of St Barts with its many boutiques and fashionistas. If you tire of jazz, you can try snorkelling, scuba 飛び込み or go for a swim with the イルカs.

Plain sailing

If you can't tell a 飛行機で行くing jib from a spanker there are plenty of chances to find out. 乗客s are 解放する／自由な to go on the 橋（渡しをする） and talk to the captain and his friendly 乗組員. Novices can have a go at steering the ship.

The 初めの clippers didn't have a 力／強力にするd winch to unfurl the sails but the sight of all 16 of them catching the 勝利，勝つd was breathtaking.

It knocks the 伝統的な 巡航する into a high hat. As one 乗客 said: 'Those 巨大（な）s have no heart - and certainly no hot jazz.'
