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:
Weīve all quickly returned to the routine of ship life after our exciting interuption by Ducie. The sun was intense and after we lowered the courses and raised the mainsīl, foresīl and jumbo, shade was difficult to find. We entertained ourselves by hanging from the bowsprit, swinging on the bosunīs chair out over the water, continuing work on our Pitcairn gifts, reading and, of course, sleeping. It was the perfect day for a siesta. Pitcairn is no longer just a distant dream and Iīm sure in the next few days a land sighting party will take their postion on the yard.

A closing heart warming sentiment:

                         Everyone says, "Hi Mom."
