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 14 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 2013 we will sail from La Paz on Mexico's Baja peninsula to El Salvador, which is about 1,800 miles. Be sure to check the logs and photos/videos of the area.
We installed a SPOT tracking system on BlueJacket which will provide almost realtime position updates on a map. Click on the link under "Last Position" to see our track over the past 2 weeks.
I have completely redone my photo albums using a new gallery system which provides much higher resolution images, supports mobile devices and does lots of other nifty stuff. Almost all of the images have been "geo-coded" with position data showing where they were taken. Click on the "Map" link to see where the photos were taken. You can also create an account and leave comments on photos.
I've created an interactive marine weather system which allows you to easily view weather forecasts & charts (over 420) from a large number of US and international sources by clicking on a map. Data from buoys all over the world has just been added.
Sue's BlueJacket Cookbook is now on-line. It contains 410 recipes that she's gathered over the years from cruising friends, land based friends, family and various other sources. You can download the PDF file. Bon Appetit!
