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:
So it IS true that everyone has a some kind of talent. This eveningīs talent show was an enjoyable mix of silly and serious. Apparently we have psychics, rappers, haiku poets and our own pop band, Scupper 2 Scupper, on board. Other acts included fiddle music, a trainee bench pressing another trainee, lots of slightly off key singing, nose blowing olympics, Blues Brothers reverse karaoke, a penny whistle and harmonica duet, and a number of other odd acts. The show was accompanied by biscotti, popcorn and Starbucksesque drinks in honour of Kateīs birthday.

This afternoon, to counteract the loads of fun we would have in the evening, we performed an intense bunk cleanup. This included the shaking of the sheets, the brushing of the mattresses, a lot of bleach and general disarray. All aboard are now settling down to a weevil free sleep - we hope.
