John, you may be right about what Mothers would allow 80 years ago. As a parent today, when my kids come home with an idea that will take them out of school to experience something far more hands on, I'll figure out a way for them to do it. In the grand scheme of life, experiences gained outsideof the classroom are fare more useful that those found inside. Most university entries today look at well rounded life expereience along with the marks attained within school A week or two of sailing on the Sea Bear would not have ruined a highschool education.
