Skimming the Ocean

Unlike our Underwater Discovery Winterim Group, whose adventures lie below the surface of the water, the Adventures in Sailing group coasts along the ocean surface learning how to maneuver a sailing vessel and observing marine and island life from above.

As reported on their blog entry, on Monday, they were able to snorkel along the reef in the Statia Marine Park.  This was after a morning of knot tying tests.  Later that day they enjoyed a dinner out off the boat with ice cream, a wonderful refreshing treat for the whole group.

On Tuesday their day began at 5 a.m. with a 3 hour hike up a volcano, "The Quill" (which should have taken them 6 hours!), and then continued with 7 hours of sailing over 38 miles of ocean to their next island!  Read more from their latest entry on their blog. This group is most definitely having an adventure of a lifetime.  We wish them continued good weather, calm seas and safe travels!
