This blog is dedicated to our family's sailing adventures aboard Jubilee, a 1983 Pearson 424 cutter.
We spent a year sailing the east coast of the United States and the Bahamas, then took two additional months to work our way cross-country back to Portland via RV. What follows is a log of our travels, both by land or sea.
All future blog posts will be made on our "Oregon Adventures" blog site - look for "Our Oregon Blog" in the sidebar to the right or click on this link www.jubileepdx.blogspot.com.

Jake recently read a article about a "backpack fairy" who apparently visits some homes on the night before the first day of school. He decided to try leaving his pack out, as did Emily, and sure enough... tic-tacs and gum were found this morning from a source unknown.
Pat has altered his mode of commuting downtown from bus to bike. He loves the exercise, plus there's lots of "gear" involved! Here are some photos showing how we spent our last weekend of summer... it was a chilly one, but included a trip to the Sauvie Island Corn Maze and the "Art in the Pearl" festival.
