Bluewater Karma
Whatever your Karma, find her and go
Adventure
This is where the story begins and ends. We will journal our adventures, locations visited, passages accomplished, and new friends found in this area.
Karma
Let us show you Karma, through text and photographs.
Projects
Owning a boat has responsibilities, the least of which is to keep it afloat. Our adventures may lead us across oceans so we will be working on several improvements to Karma to help us succeed.
Sights
We will be cataloguing all the things we witness in this section. We hope to at least photograph the flowers, plants, and animals that we run into on our adventure.
People
Every good boat needs crew to love and take care of her. Then there are those we meet on our travels, people we think you should know too!
Follow the Journey
Below, we have two ways to follow our journey. Both are satellite-based. The first is with our Garmin InReach Tracking device. As long as we have a view of the sky, the InReach will drop a breadcrumb about every hour. I do like the InReach mapping better than the second option, but it does not display unless you are using a PC or a tablet. The second option is via PredictWind, this "pools" our breadcrumbs and uploads them about once a day. PredictWind does display of mobile phones, it also displays the current weather in the area, our last reported direction of travel and our speed. We also, can post small blogs, which we did on our trip to Desolation Sound and Princess Louisa Inlet. You can click on the boxes below to take you to the type-specific tracking page. Standard manipulation of the maps work, zooming in, zooming out, panning in all directions, just as you do on your mobile phone or PC

About Us
John Foster & Rochelle LaRose
John was mostly in tech, a vendor at Microsoft and later a software developer with Washington State DSHS. Rochelle always worked for the state, first at DSHS then at the Attorney General.
This dream of traveling the world by boat started in late 2018, before we ever heard the word Covid. But, if anything has taught our civilization about life, it was Covid. If you don't take control of your life and make things happen - you may never get the chance.
