Summer Breeze: Instagram Photo of the Week
Written by Shaun Swartz
If you’re not following ActionQuest on Instagram…
What are you waiting for? We love sharing the images, stories, and memories of all the incredible summer experiences from our outdoor education camps, and our Instagram is a great way to get an idea for what life looks like aboard an ActionQuest vessel.
This photo of the crew of S/Y Salsa is from the final session of 2018 and is such a sweet reminder of that feeling at the very end of the summer when we realize just how much hard work our students have put into their voyage while learning to sail and scuba dive. The interesting thing about this photo is that it is not unique, in that if the camera were to be spun around in the opposite direction, every student on the dock would be similarly beaming alongside their staff members and fellow shipmates. These fleeting final moments together at the end of the summer seem to last just a little longer, the sun seems to shine just a little brighter, and we’re left with so many great memories to hold us over until we meet again next year.
