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, the Great Lakes, most of the Caribbean and now the Pacific. Click here for a map of travel since 1998.
In 2011 we sailed down Mexico's Baja coast and spent the spring in the Sea of Cortez. It was an amazing adventure and the coastline was absolutely stunning. Be sure to check the logs and photos/videos of the area.
I've created an interactive forecast map which allows you to easily view weather forecasts from a large number of (international) sources by clicking on a map. You'll also see that all of my logs now have a link to a forecast for the log's location.
You can now view all of our logs, photos and video via Google Earth. When viewing a trip report index, click on the Google Earth link and a file will be downloaded for the region that you selected.
Starting in 2011 I started coding my photographs with position data. When you're viewing a photo and you click on the
icon, you'll see a map of where the image was taken.
We've just republished Sue's BlueJacket Cookbook. It contains 410 recipes that she's gathered over the years from cruising friends, land based friends, family and various sources. You can download the PDF file. Bon Appetit!
