After a scientific cruise to Greenland as a student on a 144 foot square rigged barquentine, John “Sockeye” Calogero stepped up into the role of a deckhand and a maritime educator for the first time. That was in 1983 and launched a varied career including boat building and a voyage to Saudi Arabia on a merchant vessel during Desert Shield (after Desert Storm). Since 1994 he has captained and instructed Outward Bound courses in open oar and sail boats in Washington, British Columbia, Massachusetts, Maine, Florida, and the Bahamas. In between Outward Bound courses he ran a charter boat in Alaska, delivered goods to an orphanage in the Bahamas by schooner, monitored whale watching in the Salish Sea, instructed ASA sailing courses, and two times completed the Race to Alaska.
