SeaBase is coming up quickly. Under 6 weeks to go. The crews are ready. They have finished training sessions and have their packing lists. Looking forward to warm weather.

SeaBase 2023
The planning is coming together. We have 23 of 24 spots filled and expect to have the last spot filled soon. We were able to find semi reasonable group airline tickets. Working on bus transportation and where to stay for the 1st night, but have several good options. While putting together a group of 24 persons may seem like a big task, we have a great committee working on it and it all seems to be coming together. More details soon.

We went through the “lottery” which was a first come, not a true lottery. We missed out on our first choice, but were able to get 3 Coral Reef ships. We were concerned as we were planning to do this over our Spring Break, but the dates for our Spring Break had not been released by the time we needed to reserve. we just found out today that we picked correctly!
We have room for 24 persons. Currently, we have 19 of the 24 spots filled and are working to fill the remainder.
We have a group to work on the logistics of the trip.
It’s going to be amazing!
High Adventures in the next year:
We have a lot of fun activities coming up for our Troop.
June 2022 Philmont. We have 9 confirmed so far. May have another 2. We have reached out to 2 other Troops to see if they have any interest to help fill out our crew.
OKPIK 2023. We had 8 who could not attend this year due to Co-Vid. We talked about it, and they are interested in going back next year. We have 9 going back for a Lake Stay. We need 2 more to fill a “Large Crew”.
Sea Base 2023. We were not able to get the “Tall Ship”. But we got 3 Coral Reef instead. We have 21 of 24 spots already filled. I don’t think it will take much longer to fill the remaining spots.
We just created a sub committee for Sea Base to work on the logistics of the trip. More hands make easier work.

Tuesday was the “Lottery”. Do not believe this term. Unlike Philmont or OKPIK where you enter your troop and then it goes through a lottery process at a later date, the SeaBase “lottery” was first come first serve. Should not have been listed as a lottery.
We had hoped to get the 20 person tall ship, but it was gone in the first 10 minutes. We were able to get 3 ships for Coral Reef sailing. While it would have been really fun to have everyone on the same ship, this will still be a great trip! Barely a year away.
SeaBase Book
While there may be many good books to use while at SeaBase, I have found “Cruising Guide to the Florida Keys” by Frank Papy to be a very useful book.
If you are interested in purchasing this book, please consider using the link below. It takes you to our fundraising link for Amazon on our troop website. If you search for the book through our link, Amazon will pay us a small amount (it doesn’t cost you any more).
SeaBase Budget
Follow the link to an Exel spreadsheet for the budget worksheet we use for planning for SeaBase.
We try and keep this all inclusive except for souveneirs.
This includes the cost of fuel to the airport, parking, airplane ticket, rental car, fuel for the vehicles, meals down and back, patches, etc.
