Yellowbrick

Christmas came and with it a Yellowbrick! What's a Yellowbrick? It is a GPS tracking box that sends my position and short emails via satellite from anywhere in the world. Click on the Yellowbrick Tracking tab to view the map. Of course there isn't anything on it yet, but coming in late January, I should start to move southward.

Itinerary


Have you heard? I'm sailing to Texas from Long Beach, CA from January to June of next year. This blog will be where I post pictures, and a map showing my progress.  The map will update every day as the Yellowbrick on my boat sends a signal and it is marked so everyone can see how quickly, or slowly, I'm moving.

The itinerary thus far is:
My Cal 36 "Sundowner"

Jan 13th - 25th - Long Beach, CA to San Jose del Cabo, Mexico
Feb 3rd to 12th - Islas de Revillagigedo
March 8th to April 23rd - Costa Rica and Panama
April 23rd to April 30th - Panama Canal
May 9th to May 15th - Jamaica and Cayman Brac (pending)
June 7th - Freeport, TX

If anyone feels like taking a break from the states and heading south, send me an email and we can try to figure out some time/place to meet up.  I have a few people interested in transiting the Panama Canal with me, which is supposedly a once in a lifetime experience. 

Happy Holidays!
