ASTA Member Sea Education Association of Woods Hole, MA is one of the longest running sail trainng programs in North America. While their primary mission is college accredited semesters at sea and high school summer programs, they recently launched an exciting adult sail training program called SEA Expedition. The next scheduled departure is in January 2007, so if you are up for some South Seas adventure, pack your bag and hop aboard. Just remember, sail training ain’t no cruise.
If you haven’t been to their website recently (www.sea.edu) I highly encourage you to do so. There’s lots of interesting information about their programs and ships.
On September 24th, the Boston Globe had a great article entitled “Full Sail: Joing the crew and standing watch on a seagoing classroom.” You can read it by clicking here. (registration required)
For the sake of full disclosure, I am an Overseer at Sea Education Association.
