Aboard the SSV Tole Mour in the Summer of 2012
7 Days at Sea / 278 Nautical Miles
SSV Tole Mour Expedition 534, August 4 – 10 (click here)
[They’re sailing around the Channel Islands off the coast of California. They’ll be learning seamanship, marine ecology, marine science, oceanography – but mostly they’ll be having a very memorable and awesome time. What a great way to cap-off the summer. What a journey!]
August 4 (Saturday) : Day 1
The journey begins. Flight from San Jose (SJC) to Los Angeles (LAX). It’s just two of us, my best friend Maya and I, on our first air flight by ourselves.
AMS:
When we got to LAX, one of our counselors, Shannon, a.k.a “Shanananana”, picked us up and we met the other kids who also flew into LAX. They drove us to Rainbow Harbor, Long Beach where we gave our bags to the Tole Mour crew. We then got our bunk numbers, our watch group assignments, and got outfitted with wet-suits and snorkeling equipment.
