While the American Sail Training Association website (http://www.sailtraining.org/) is rich with information and the latest news, through this blog we will try to provide you with an insider's view the world of sail training, tall ships, experiential shipboard education and other interesting stuff. Most of the posts will be by me, Peter Mello, ASTA executive director; however, from time to time we will invite others to contribute. Your comments, suggestions, ideas and contributions are welcome. Please feel free to email me at peter@sailtraining.org.
