Of An Eagle And Senior Fund Raiser

ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME!

In case you've missed it, a group of eleven intrepid local mariners have launched themselves on the adventure of a lifetime. Earlier this month these hearty souls joined the Alaska Eagle, Orange Coast College's 65 foot aluminum sail training vessel, for one of seven legs of a trip that began last October and will end back home in Newport Harbor in June. On this leg the crew will head for the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia.

FOLLOW THE ALASKA EAGLE IN THE DAILY PILOT
You can follow the adventures as chronicled by Brad Avery, director of OCC's School of Sailing & Seamanship, in his weekly reports in the Daily Pilot. The first three can be found HERE, HERE and HERE.
