The following description is meant as a guide to help you decide which trip most suits your desires and abilities.  These descriptions are not intended as comprehensive itineraries and are subject to change.

Set sail on the three-masted schooner American Pride with a crew of professional mariners to tour the Channel Islands.  You’ll spend each day on the high seas, and dock at night on the islands, starting with village of Two Harbors on beautiful Catalina island.  While at Two Harbors, you can snorkel, swim, kayak and barbeque on the beach.  Other potential docking sites include the remote and wild Santa Barbara Island and the beach town of Avalon on Catalina Island, which has wonderful snorkeling and beaching.  Dockings provides beaches for swimming and games, a leisurely nature hike, historical points, Native American archeological sites, mud flats, tide pools, and unique plant and animal life.

The crew of the American Pride will cater your meals and also offers naturalist guidance about the surrounding environment.  You have the option of berthing below deck or throwing out a sleeping bag and letting the stars lull you to sleep.  You’ll be required to sing sea shanties, pitch in with shipboard duties, and maybe even walk the plank.  Arrr.  You must swim well to go on this trip.  This is an excellent trip for students who would like to explore California’s coastal waters and sample life aboard a classic schooner.
