Friends & Cruisers

Wes Clow — In addition to his blogs, wesclow.com also has links to all the boats we have met, stats pages on all our locations and passages that are interesting, and a very accurate map of our route based on our actual GPS coordinates.

Anima III — Our friend Martin Hammer from Austria sailing a beautiful, wooden hull Colin Archer ketch around the world.

Zac Sunderland — Zac was the youngest solo circumnavigator for a time, and we transited the Panama Canal together during his historic trip

Stravaig — Our friends Jeff & Jose on Stravaig, some of our favorite people for dinner, drinks, and conversation

Bumfuzzle — Pat & Ali are now well-known youthful and unconventional catamaran circumnavigators who have moved on to land adventures.  Their website helped to inspire us.

Exit Only — Dave and his family circumnavigated on a Privilege 39 as well and were a good source of info for us.

Antoine — We met Antoine in the Tuamotus.  He’s an incredibly nice guy and also a famous French singer and travel documentary maker.

Visage Studio — Lauren’s dad is a sculptor. Check out his impressive bronze pieces.

NOAA Marine Weather — US NOAA NWS Marine weather page

General Sailing

Furled Sails — Great sailing podcasts.  Bumfuzzle and Exit Only both have great interviews here.

Noonsite — Jimmy Cornell´s website is THE on-line English reference for cruisers on the details and formalities for ports all over the world.  We have a post there in the Swan Island section.  Jimmy Cornell´s “World Cruising Routes” book is the primary passage-planning book for circumnavigating sailors.

Cruisers Forum — We spent a lot of time here researching gear and repairs.  It’s a good resource and full of opinionated sailors.
