First post!

This shall be the blog of the good ship Insegrevious, a 33-foot Cherubini designed Hunter sloop, bound this summer for Northern waters, or whatever perils may strike her before.

We hope this blog will be one-stop shopping for friends and family to find information and photos from the trip, since we're far too lazy to update each of you individually, and perhaps some bits of information will be of some use to other sailors bound for the Inside Passage in the future, although it is hard to imagine anyone with any less experience than us attempting the journey and so most will probably already have learned the hard lessons we may detail.

We're outfitting the boat now and planning on a mid-May departure, God willing. Personally I find myself hungry for details when it comes to planning and putting together such expeditions and there is actually relatively little out there to be found for the novice sailor planning such a trip, so I'll try to load up as much detail as I can; I'll distinguish those posts from the "fluff" travelogue crap, though, so you won't have to wade through it if you don't want to.

Cheers, and check back again some time.
