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!

she made it! ...my former zoo cohort Sarah Cramer has arrived bearing gifts, smiles, and plenty of zoo gossip. (One of the great things about being so far away from everybody, is that all of our visitors spill the beans about everyone else when they get here - after all who are we gonna tell?).

she also brought good weather ...... we are enjoying the sunshine. we dinghied out to a reef today and showed her what 80 degree Caribbean water feels like!

we may try and get out of the marina and anchor out for a couple days, so we might just be offline
for awhile.
