Shipping Out

For those that I haven't talked to (I think I've told just about every person that I know...), I'm going to be spending the next week with Jack and Joan Morris aboard Razzmatazz, a 50 foot sailboat that they're taking from Rochester, NY to the Florida Keys. I'll join then in Baltimore and sail with them for a week, getting off at Newport News, VA.

My sailing experience is limited to 25' boats on Lake Lanier, for about 6 hours at a time - so a week about a 50' boat in the Atlanta Ocean should be quite a learning experience. I hope that I can keep this up to date with my experiences aboard.

Bag is packed, kids are off to school, e-mail is forwarded... the idea of being unreachable for a week is hard to imagine, but here goes!

I linked my iPhone GPS to instamapper, and if I have any cell reception, I'll update my position on the map below.
