The Sea Olympics

For Michael, I think life at sea is really even more fun that traveling in the various ports. An incredible community forms during each Semester at Sea voyage among the college students, faculty, staff and their families and the ship's crew.  

Each voyage has an event called the "Sea Olympics", where the various "seas" (the groups of cabins that form mini communities) compete against each other in events.  Michael entered "ship, captain, wave" which is a version of rock, paper, scissors. He lost in round one, but his buddy Liam made it into the finals.  

Michael also led the synchronized swim team for the team made up of faculty, staff and dependents. He got special coaching from Nancy Carr, the actor/drama teacher who choreographed the team's routine.

Pop also participated in the Sea Olympics, as captain of the team made up of the "life long learners".  He led his team to an awesome third place finish and participated in the synchronized swimming and lip sync events!
