The Sail and Life Training Society is a veteran of four previous deep sea adventures.

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:
Hi everyone, I apologize for my tardiness. I neglected to share the
news of our arrival in port hardy. We arrived on the 18th and have been enjoying our stay in every way. From games of soccer, ultimate frisby, swimming, fresh halibut from fishermen friends, dinners out and more our stay here has been great.
Tonight was the climax. We arranged to rent the local pool and have our very own pool party. From 8-10 all roamed freely from hot tub to sauna to main pool and of course the goodie table, spread with every possible item of junk food imaginable. We had a wonderful time together with the pool to ourselves. Our hope is to leave tomorrow and begin heading south on the west side of the island. Once again we are weather bound though so we will have to look for another weather window.

All are well and enjoying the treats of home.
