The NCAC High Adventure Committee has an urgent need to fill at least two spots on a Sea Base Coral Reef Adventure from July 7th to 13th 2019. There are four (2 adults 2 Scouts) presently in the crew but six is the minimum and eight is max. So at least two more participants are needed to avoid cancelling this trip. Here is what you can expect on this adventure:
“Your home for a week will be on a large sailing vessel over 40 feet long. During the adventure, you will be sailing the Florida Keys and have the chance to snorkel some of the most beautiful reefs in the Keys and part of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. You will also have the opportunity to study astronomy, navigation, fish identification, and coral reef ecology. So join us for the Coral Reef Sailing Adventure, sharpen your navigational skills and enjoy snorkeling and fishing all in one package.”
Total estimated cost of $1,950 includes the Sea Base fee, airfare, all ground transportation, meals, tips, a visit to an alligator farm and an airboat ride in the Everglades. A deposit of $700 is required.
If this sounds exciting, well, it is! To start your journey, contact High Adventure Committee Sea Base Liaison Dana Abrahamsen at (202) 326-2906 (work) or dabrahamse@ftc.gov.
