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 of great sailing today spent at speeds of 8-10 kts. Sun was
out for most of the day but more clouds moved in near supper time. Last
couple of days we have had the odd small bird come and visit us, tiny birds
that would fit into your hand. We look at them and say what are you doing
800 miles from land? I donīt think they know either.
All well and looking forward to fresh pie for breakfast tomorrow. Apple,
blueberry, pumpkin and cherry, not bad eh. To think you all at home thought
we thrived on salt pork and hard tack.


Observations:
Misty with a light south wind.
