The Adventure Sail will be the final opportunity for Grays Harbor residents and visitors to sail on the vessel until she returns in the spring of 2010.

On Sunday morning, the vessel will depart Westport for Oakland, Calif., a voyage scheduled to take 10 days. Passage berths are available for passengers. Tickets may be purchased online at www.historicalseaport.org, or by calling 800-200-5239. The Westport-to-Oakland Passage is recommended for experienced travelers only; guests will be assigned a watch and may be called on to assist with vessel operations.
The theme for Hawaiian Chieftain’s trip is “California 2009-2010: Hands-on History for Youth.” The tour emphasizes the ship’s mission of delivering valuable—and in some cases, life-changing—educational experiences for young people. Scheduled ports of call include: San Francisco, Sacramento, Antioch, Rio Vista, Santa Cruz, Newport Beach, Oxnard, Ventura, Oakland, Redwood City, Eureka, Crescent City, and Coos Bay, Ore.
