The winter weather has limited days on the water for the Sailor Scientist and Voyagers, but whenever there is a dry days they are out. Otherwise, they have plenty of projects and classes indoors.

Sailor Scientists have been working with NOSC (North Olympic Salmon Coalition) doing salmon surveys and more.
