Pacific Grace 2003 Leg 1

The first leg of the 2003 offshore:

Victoria BC Canada to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
September 13 to November 13, 2003

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 unforgetable 24hrs.Ran through the night with
main,courses and rafee making at times over ten knts.Light wind
this morning so we are motoring.Stopped at 1100hrs for a swim
break and had a very rare opportunity to swim with a group of
about ten dolphins,absolutely stunning.Shortly after our swim stop
the fish bell rang and to our delight there was a 60lb Yellow Fin
tuna on the line.After a bit of excitment Peter landed the fish
and we now have dinner.All in all not a bad day and its only
noon.Looks like Isabella by about 1900hrs today.
