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:
We sailed into Hanavave bay on Fatu Hiva at 0100hrs this morning. Our sail from Mangarava was wonderful we covered the 850 miles in just 5 days. Bonice and I have just retunred from clearing in and have been reaquainted with an old friend from former visits. This woman, Iris, was so thrilled to see Bo again she would regularly touch her shoulder and say "Im so happy,so happy you have come back". Many here remember our previous visits, singing onboard, vollyball and soccer, already they are asking to repeat these past memories. At present the trainees are ashore exploring the island and we do not expect to see them untill supper time.

All are well and have enjoyed this last passage.
