During this 5-day/4-night sea-going adventure, under the guidance of a professional captain and crew, students are challenged to become a team through learning to sail a classic sailing vessel and take her on a voyage beyond the Golden Gate.  Given increased responsibility as the days pass, their skills grow; they develop confidence, teamwork and leadership abilities.  Dependent on weather, wind and tide instead of social pressures and electronic entertainment, they gain an appreciation and respect for the ocean environment.  By fully participating in all aspects of shipboard life:  steering, navigating, standing watch, and helping in the galley students become one with the rhythm of a ship at sea, often returning to shore forever changed.

This voyage will board at 9 a.m. on the first day at the Bay Model, Sausalito.  The voyage plan is to sail up San Pablo Bay and the Sacramento River to the Mothball Fleet at Suisuin Bay, then back down the river with the ebb the next day.  SEAWARD will then head out the Golden Gate and along the coast to Drake's Bay at Point Reyes.  The return to San Francisco Bay will be via the Farallon Islands, weather permitting.

"Voyage Seaward" is a program of Call of the Sea, an educational non-profit whose mission is to inspire people of all ages and backgrounds to connect with the sea through educational programs aboard a sailing vessel that focus on our nautical heritage, the ocean environment, seamanship, teamwork, and leadership.
