6 day liveaboard classes are where it’s at!
We lucked out with the weather and packed a LOT of learning into one week!
Students provisioned for life aboard (maybe enough food to survive for months), checked safety equipment, and set sail toward Aialik Glacier where they got to navigate amongst bergy bits, and practice sailing at the glacier!
There were late nights kicking back at anchor, hanging out on the beach, and soaking up the Alaska scenery. And because apparently perfect visibility is too easy, we even squeezed in some low-visibility navigation practice in the fog, while searching for whales!
This crew chose to cruise back to Seward early and put their new skills to the test by joining the 2 day sailing race— the Alaska Cup— with our local WHSYC!
A full week of sailing, navigation, safety, racing, glacier dodging, and learning how to live aboard—all with a pretty spectacular classroom. Not a bad way to spend 6 days!
