Sea Year

Winter at KP means that most of our 2nd and 3rd class sailors are out to sea for thier Sea-Year where they get great hands-on experience in all aspects of the maritime industry- including important topics such as dealing with other cultures- Not sure who is winning this particular encounter, but it seams that M/N Minnick is having a great time!
