Pacific Grace 2003 Leg 2

The second leg of the 2003 offshore:

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to Puntarenas, Costa Rica
November 16 to January 16, 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 Grace´s 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 ship´s master.

Ship's Log:
Our prison visit went without a hitch. San Lucas was a truly amazing visit, a visit that will remain with us all for a long time. Seeing the remains of a prison that once held up to 200 inmates in conditions that in some cases were appalling moved us all. Messages of dispair written in multiple layers on cell walls, solitary confinment in sun baked concrete tubes, all now becoming over grown with bush or destroyed by termites. It was a window back in time showing how cruel we can be to each other. All enjoyed the visit and we had the gaurds wife and child out to see the boat.

Departed at 1115hrs and were anchored off of P.A. at 1230hrs where Wendy´s father picked her up. See you Wendy, all our love goes with you, already you are dearly missed.
