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:
Still motoring in calms as we approach the equator. As you can see we are just over 150 miles away. All are back into the routine of being at sea and clubs are starting up again.

We took on bags of black pearl shells in Mangareva and now everyone is making beautiful jewelry and intricate carvings with the mother of pearl parts of the shells. Dremel tools,sanders and files are busy constantly.

All are well and looking forward to hitting the NE trades within a ady or so.
