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:
Today when we awoke the sea was like a mill pond, glassy smooth and
hardly a swell. Not too good for us sailors but great weather for the swim
team. About 15 people braved the icy north pacific just so they could say
they did. Needless to say the swim stop was not of the luxurious tropical
60 minute type, but was over and done with inside 15 min.
Making steady progress and all are well.
