Alaska Endeavour

In case you missed Capt Kelsey’s reel from our Wilderness Mariner Course up the Inside Passage last week. What a great group! — well seasoned, salty sailors who know how to balance the fun and learning ratio. We did a lot of both.

This autumn there could be even more of each — as we explore the remote coast of the Alaska Peninsula and Kodiak in both all women’s and coed trips. Think hands on helm time around glaciers, volcanoes, Katmai brown bear and northern lights. Trip of a lifetime. And last berths available in each. AlaskaEndeavour.org/expeditions

Wonder if Capt Bill knew what he was in for when he suggested an all woman student/crew for this years’ Wilderness Mariner Course up the Inside Passage from Seattle to Ketchikan. It’s been awesome! 10 days equal parts hands on learning and big time fun. Even seriously experienced sailors, captains, cruisers from across the continent and around the world found more things to learn, jumping into every task at hand — and then some. And I think there are still two berths left on the September trip along the Alaska Peninsula up to Kodiak on @alaskaendeavour!

MONITORING GLACIERS - VISUALIZING CLIMATE CHANGE -PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND ALASKA 

We all hear about climate change. In headlines. In conversations. But it’s very different thing to standing in front of a glacier that has reshaped itself within a single lifetime. Imagine the perspective of experiencing 30 of them.

Two last berths are still ope on our July glacier study expedition in Alaska’s Prince William Sound — working with leading glaciologist and author Dr Bruce Molnia, whose decades of research in Alaska bring both context and depth to what you’re seeing day to day, documenting the status of over 30 glaciers,

This 12-day expedition and course is open to ages 18–85, for college credit, and non-credit, life learners, alike. No prior field experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to engage.

If you’ve ever wanted to move beyond reading about climate change and actually witness firsthand what it means:
