You never know what you'll see on a ferry trip to Vancouver Island. This time the sun was out, Mount Baker looked like you could reach up and touch it and the sloop, the Pacific Grace, was out for a training session. Pacific Grace facts: The Pacific Grace, a Sail and Life Training Society (SALTS) ship, built at their shipyard in Victoria, British Columbia, slipped her lines May 31, 2001 to embark on her maiden voyage. SALTS provides sail training programs along the coast of British Columbia. These include shorter school programs in the spring and fall and ten-day summer trips open to anyone aged 13 through 25. Over 1,000 trainees per year per vessel participate in S.A.L.T.S. life-changing sail training programs.
