The new Zanshin, a Jeanneau 57 yacht, has made it's first long ocean passage from Annapolis, MD to the Caribbean in late 2011 and spent the first half of 2012 cruising around the northern Caribbean islands before being put into summer storage to weather the hurricane season on the hard until it is finally time to return aboard and continue voyaging. Zanshin I (a Jeanneau 49DS) is in new hands and is cruising the Caribbean after having been re-christened. The new Zanshin is indeed a yacht rather than a boat. With 8 feet more length than Zanshin I, this new vessel is quite a bit larger, both inside and outside. I've become quite attached to the name Zanshin, so I will also be giving the new yacht the same name and have worked on this site to rename the references to the first Zanshin to Zanshin I in order to avoid too much confusion in boat naming. Once I'm settled into the new Zanshin my plans include sailing around the Caribbean waters and, when the time is right, a slow set of passages circumnavigating the globe along the so-called “barefoot route” which entails staying in warm climes and avoiding the rough and potentially dangerous waters around the capes. Please enjoy browsing the site and, for those who find themselves sailing in unknown waters:
(May there always be a handsbreadth of water beneath your keel.) |
