Voyage Seaward
Climb aboard the Seaward, a classic 82' schooner, and make it your home while we sail around the California Coast and magnificent Monterey Bay! During these 5-day sea-going adventures, under the guidance of a professional captain and crew, you will be challenged to become a team by learning to sail a traditional ship on a voyage to the sea. As a member of the crew, you will explore physical oceanography, bay, and coastal marine ecology, and learn about the history and traditions of seafaring life. Your skills and knowledge will grow as you develop confidence, teamwork, and leadership abilities!
No sailing experience is required.
Activities include: plankton studies, marine mammals studies, oceanography sampling, marine debris and conservation topics, whale watching, squid dissection, skit night, navigation, knots, steering, sail handling, weather and tides, belly biology, beach campfire and beach time
Ages: 13-16

COVID Safety Precautions
Participants must show proof they are fully vaccinated and have had one booster.
Participants must have a negative PCR test within 48 hours before boarding (or a rapid PCR the day before) and a negative antigen test the day of sailing.
Participants must be asymptomatic when boarding, even if test is negative.
Preventative measures:
- Basic sanitation (hand washing, hand sanitizer, etc.)
- Wearing masks below deck unless eating or sleeping
- Maximize ventilation in indoor spaces
- Daily health check-ins to monitor for symptoms
- Enhanced cleaning protocols on the boat during and in between programs
- All points of high contact like the bathrooms on board will be cleaned morning, mid-day, and evening. Students are encouraged to bring their own water bottles to use during the trip.
We ask participants to please reduce the risk of exposure for 14 days prior to program—especially in the 72 hours leading up to the start (avoid high transmission locations i.e., restaurants, air travel, unmasked gatherings, and taking COVID precautions such as wearing masks in public, washing hands frequently, etc.)
