Tall Ship Opportunity

Wow! This is a “study abroad” opportunity with a twist—you live and work aboard a replica of an early 1800s sailing ship. A great line for your resume. And — if you’ve never been aboard a sail-powered ship before — and incredible experience! With permission from the kind gentleman who came to my classes to present today, here is the PowerPoint presentation with pictures: http://goo.gl/lchWR

And here are the basic highlights from the powerpoint (which has very pretty pictures):
