FEAR. FRIENDSHIP. FAITH.
On average, around 350,000 U.S. students, and nearly one million students worldwide, study abroad every year. Yet since its inception in 1963, only about 73,000 total students from over 1500 colleges and universities have participated in Semester at Sea. It is a truly unique, exclusive, and intimate experience, where students and faculty study, work, and travel to the farthest reaches of the globe.
But what happens when your ship is out to sea when a pandemic hits the world, rumors run rampant, ports begin closing, and thrills turn into turmoil?
Seas the Day is the true story of one student's first-hand account of being stranded at sea during the most intense time of the Covid-19 pandemic. Through detailed daily journals, Johnny candidly captures the fears, confusion, comradery, and, ultimately, his personal transformational growth and the rediscovery of his faith.
