Proud father post: heard from DaughterFr8Dog for 1st time in 17 days last


when she sent this picture shortly after docking in Horta, Azores. She is halfway through a 70 day trip sailing from the Caribbean to the Med. After the Azores, the planned port calls will be Gibraltar, Barcelona, Corsica and then Rome. We will meet her in Rome approx 8/23. She is sailing on S/Y Vela, a 112-ft two-masted staysail schooner, belonging the Seamester program, as the youngest (17 1/2) of 24 crew and a staff of 6. She’ll gain 6 college credit for 2 courses on this trip - Leadership and Nautical Science, accredited by USF.

Below are the daily Trip Logs posted so far the crew (current to 7/14). My daughter wrote the 7/2 Trip Log.
