Welcome to the BlueJacket web site! This site provides extensive photos and logs of the sailing and diving adventures aboard the BlueJacket, which is a Freedom 40/40 sailboat. In the past 12 years we've sailed over 40,000 miles, covering virtually all of the East coast of the US and Canada as well as most of the Caribbean. Click here for a map of travel since 1998.

In the beginning of June, 2010 we'll depart on the first leg of a 5-6 year voyage. The first leg will take us from RI to NY City, up the Hudson River and down the Erie Canal to Buffalo, NY. From there we'll sail through the Great Lakes and end up in Milwaukee, WI. Then we'll ship BlueJacket, via truck, to San Diego, CA. In the winter we'll sail down the Baja coast and spend the winter in the Sea of Cortez. The following years will be spent moving along the Pacific coast, eventually ending up in Peru. From there we'll head back to Panama, through the Canal, and eventually make our way back home.

You can follow our adventures by subscribing to the mailing list, or by viewing our logs and photos/videos on this web site.

I've incorporated our cruising into my Google Earth presentation of our voyages. The display is much less cluttered as placemarks for anchorages only appear once you zoom into an area.

I've created a new web site dedicated to Freedom sailboats at www.FreedomYachts.org

An amazing person that we've had the honor to work with is the Jungle Medic. He provides medical and dental care to Mayan Indians in the jungles of Guatemala. Be sure to check out his web site.
