Pacific Grace 2003 Leg 3

The third leg of the 2003 offshore:

Puntarenas, Costa Rica to Honolulu, Hawaii

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:
Left Cocos yesterday at about 1400hrs and shaped a course for the famous Galapagos Islands. We have about 340 miles to travel between Cocos and Galapagos. Progress to date has been slow though due to light contrary wind and an apposing 2 kt current. Our ETA looks like Wed. mid day sometime.

All of us have thoroughly enjoyed Cocos and spent our last day with some hiking and others snorkeling with the sharks on outlying islands.
