J/Cruising & Offshore Adventures

The dream of many cruising sailors is to explore distance shores, meet new people, discover new lands and perhaps one day sail around the world. Several J/Boat owners realize part or all of this dream each year. J/40 owners Paul and Debbie DeFreitas, of Ventura CA are among this group and are currently sailing their boat 'Flame' south along the coast of Mexico and documenting their adventures via online blog. Two months ahead of them are Ed & Cindy Huckins (and Ashes the cat), from San Diego on their J/40 'Mal de Mer III' sailing the Baja HaHa...see the J/40 Owner site...for more on their journey. Joining the Huckins' on the HaHa are also two J/120s, Tom Cullen of Santa Barbara aboard 'Bluebird' and Wayne Zittle of Almeda aboard 'J/World'.
