Well -- we had a great trip and here are the pictures to prove it. Anyone who was in our crew has permission to copy these pictures. To do so, just right click the photo and select "save picture as ...."
Emergency Contact Numbers
Sea Base office telephone number for questions is 305-664-4173. The emergency number is 305-664-7766. Neither of these are for the contact of a crew member unless in an absolute emergency.
We'll give copies of the crew roster to parents at the airport so that everyone has all the information regarding our adventure in the event emergency contact is necessary.
Fishing and Snorkeling
I know some people will want to fish and snorkel, so you may want to download this fish identification guide. We'll be there during the mini-lobster season too -- yum, yum! Download fish_id.ppt
Key West
We will be laying over one day in Key West. Here is the Sea Base guide to Key West.
Sea Base Duty to God Award
Hi -- I'm going to work on this award while at Sea Base -- though work is probably too strong a word. We'll need a Chaplain's Aide to help us keep track. This award is really just a small reminder of a Scout's duty to be reverent.

Our Crew
Our crew is made up of Scouts, Venturers and adult leaders from the National Capital Area Council -- which spans Northern Virginia, DC, the Maryland Suburbs and Southern Maryland. NCAC has sponsored Sea Base council trips for several years.
We're headed to the Florida Keys and will board an 83 foot gaffe-rigged schooner for a week. I'm looking forward to it since I have an '87 27 foot Hunter, and I've wanted to learn to sail larger boats.
