About Seabase
The full uninterupted trip to St. Thomas & St. Johns. We snuck in through 2 Hurricanes, 8 flights with masks, 1 island shut down, 1 quarantine back to NJ!
Some of the pictures of the trip. High Adventure Sailing at Seabase with the Crew of Maverick otherwise known as Hurricane Crew, 2 weeks prior. I hope all these boys never forget this trip. Thanks to all the leaders that made it possible, and for a glimmer of beauty and adventure in what has been a dark year for all. Big thanks to Michael Clear who took many of these amazing shots. I owe you a new filter lense! Theres a backstory!
Capi'tom kept a lean mean ship and a hard core schedule of sailing, snorkeling and hiking, no matter what mishaps happened, he kept it going.
Our leaders Brian Vint and Peter Gerlain as well as Michael Clear who really spear headed version 2 of this trip. A sea of gratitude to you guys. None of this is possible without you!
We threaded the needle!
