Dawn Update
Wednesday June 14
Marina Coral, Ensenada Mexico
Hello Friends and Family;
I am about to embark on a voyage that I have dreamt of taking since I was 16. I will have the benefit of satellite weather, communications and tracking of my progress. I invite you to follow along utilizing the link below to see my progress, location and the weather I am encountering.
If you wish to communicate with me while I am on the voyage I can easily receive emails, texts and in an emergency even phone calls.
I will send out an update on my adventure from time to time, I hope you enjoy them.
A little about the passage, it is approximately 3000 Nautical miles (3450 statute miles). My goal is to sail about 125 NM in a 24 hour period however that will vary depending on weather. I will be sailing 24 hours a day and there will be no stops along the way. There is only ocean between Ensenada and the Marquess Islands in French Polynesia my first landfall.
I am exceptionally well equipped with a complete electronics suite and have conveniences such as a water maker and refrigeration. So if the weather is not too bad it should be a great voyage. I am doing it alone, and the solitude of a month at sea without company is not a problem for me.
I look forward to hearing from you if you wish.
