The Adventures of Ute: YEAH HOOOOOOOO

welcome to our blog!

This blog tells the story of our 22-month sailing journey from Oakland, California, to Bristol, Rhode Island, aboard our beloved Bristol 32 sailboat, Ute. Please feel free to browse through the archives (partway down the sidebar to your left) to see pics and read stories of our adventures in North America and Central America . (Sorry the first 3 months of the trip are missing - they vanished somewhere in an internet cafe in Mexico - but all you're missing is CA, Baja and Western Mex).

If you're trying to track us down now that we're landlubbers, try us at uteatlarge at yahoo dot com. Thanks!

YEAH HOOOOOOOO

WOW! We are so happy someone actually web cammed us! Thanks Darrin. Who else but you. Amazing. Thanks.

Just in case everyone hasn't read Darrins account:
"I saw you guys! You turned slightly to starboard as you emerged from the first lock then had to veer slightly to port for a minute to avoid a tug, which also veered to port, collision avoided, both boats returned to their original courses. I had the replay last 20 images thing going and showed it to all my coworkers. "Hey Alex, you got any friends going through the Panama Canal right now?" "huh?" "Well, I do!" Thanks for letting us be there too.Darrin"
