Pacific Grace 2003 Leg 3

The third leg of the 2003 offshore:

Puntarenas, Costa Rica to Honolulu, Hawaii
January 19 to April 17, 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:
Another day.Wind is all over the place and mostly light. Sailing, motorsailing, motoring then sailing again - all in a day. Everyone is doing well though and all feel that the time has has gone by very quickly. Looks like Ducie tomorrow and Pitcairn two days later.

Ducie is the eastern most island in the Pitcairn group. Quite small and 300 miles east of Pitcairn Ducie does not get many visitors. We hope to drive by and check it out.


Observations:
Clear, light wind.
