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 11 years we've sailed over 35,000 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.

We've completed our 2008 cruising season which took us on what's known as the "Down East Circle Route". This trip started in the Chesapeake and wound through the Hudson River, the Erie and Oswego canals, Lake Ontario, down the St. Lawrence river, through Canadian Maritimes and Prince Edward Island, into the Bras d'Or Lakes of Nova Scotia, down the coast of Nova Scotia and finally back along Maine, NH, MA and into RI. The trip was extensively documented with text logs and photos and video.

I've incorporated our 2008 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.
