Lots of things have started - I decided that since it is a 4 year journey that J'Sea is on and many places there will not be any real assistance or equipment, i have ordered #1- New rudder Bearings , even though there is normal play on the rudder #2- New Cutlass bearing, even though only a little play on the Shaft. #3- New batteries #4- New 3 year anti-fouling #5- Complete Electrical checkup . #6- Complete Rigging Survey #7- Installation of the Fisher Panda 12 KW diesel...

Finally in Marmaris, Turkey - June 22, 2009

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 14:01:26 GMT

The OPEN House was a great Success, we had 25 people who were exchanging stories and talked about joining J'Sea at different legs on the 4 year journey. After a long series of flights i finally arrived in Marmaris, Turkey. It really feels good to be back on J'Sea again, It got quite dirty in Marmaris Yacht Marine durn the winter, but no damage to J'Sea just a lot of dirt. . It took just 2 days to get things working and clean again. I think about another 3 day's should having like HOME...

IPhone as a Plotter - March 21, 2009

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 22:47:51 GMT

This 3G IPhone with 16 gig is fantastic , I just downloaded the whole mediterranean area for $ 64.99 usd and is very readable. Now i wait until i arrive in Marmaris, Turkey and take J'Sea out for a little coastal sailing to check out GPS with the charts for that area to see how accurate it is. This is a back up to the back up, oh you got to love these electronics. J'Sea
