Pacific Grace 2003 Leg 2

The second leg of the 2003 offshore:

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to Puntarenas, Costa Rica
November 16 to January 16, 2004

The Sail and Life Training Society is a veteran of four previous deep sea adventures. This will be the first visit of the Pacific Grace to many of the countries, ports and remote communities which are familiar to the Graceīs sister training ship, the Pacific Swift. The voyage will be comprised of four distinct legs.Trainees may apply for one or more legs with no restriction as to numbers of legs except for availability at the time of application. Each leg will consist of several intermediate stops between ports of arrival or departure; however, these stops are subject to prevailing weather and the political situation and may be increased or eliminated at the discretion of the shipīs master.

Ship's Log:
Had a very successful dory trip through the Mangroves yesterday. In all it took two hours to tow the dories together up the river. Birds, crabs, butterflies, fish and the odd panga made for an exciting trip. A short portage brought everyone to a large beach where they met the Grace which had been moved from the previous anchorage. Horse back riding, boogie boarding and visiting the local palapas made up the remainder of our day.

We left Tenacatita today at day break and headed south again. This time we have Zihuatanejo as our destination. At present under Main, courses and rafee we are slowly making our way south at about five knots.

 - Lovely to be sailing again.
