[SEMCO] French Polynesian Sail in January

[Sheri DeRosa]

Join us for SEA Expedition - An Adult Continuing Education Experience 
aboard the brigantine SSV Robert C. Seamans in French Polynesia. We are 
gearing up for our second annual adult program which will sail January 
20 - 30, 2008 from Papeete to and around other French Polynesian/Society 
islands including Bora Bora, Raitea, Huahine and Maupiti. Please look at 
our Website at    http://www.sea.edu/academics/adultprograms.asp

During the 8-day sail participants will actively engage in all aspects 
of the ship's operations, and this is what makes this such an unusual 
opportunity. There are no chaise lounges and no cocktail hours - 
participants are on watch and learning about the ecology of the islands 
both above and under water, the cultural history of the Polynesian 
people and, together with our scientists, participate in oceanographic 
sampling in deep waters. This Expedition will set off on a 400-mile sail 
in concert with lectures and guided land tours giving an indepth 
introduction to the tropical forests and rugged landscapes of this 
terrestrail oasis in the middle of the South Pacific.

Please contact Claire Stern at Sea Education if you are interesting in 
participating in or have any questions about SEA Expedition.  Thank you.

Sea Education Association, a non-profit organization in the Woods Hole 
community of Cape Cod runs the only academic program in the world that 
incorporates a six-week voyage under full sail on tall ships for 
undergraduate students in our off-campus program.
