Welcome...
We are Steve, Kathleen, and Emmett Erickson. In the fall of 2007 we
left our jobs, sold our house, and moved aboard our Kanter 51 sailing yacht to
go exploring. This website is designed to help us keep in touch and
document our adventures.
We will try to update this site frequently--especially the photo gallery and
Ship's log. We invite you to follow along on our voyage and
email us with
your comments.
What's New at Uliad.net:
- Check out our new Gallery of Things That Didn't
Translate So Well page
- Our ham radio-email link can send our lat-lon position every time we
download our email. You can see our latest position on a map (or google
earth) by clicking
HERE. The blue marker is our most recent position, the green marker
"trail" shows past positions.
- Our "Friends of Uliad" page has links
to the blogs of other sailing families we've gotten to know along the way.
- The new, updated interactive map is ready which describes our intended
cruising plan to cross the south pacific in 2009. If you have
Google Earth loaded on your computer, click on "KSS" to download a file of the
map that you can view even better with Google Earth
- Emmett has created The Creature of the Month page to
show off the interesting living things he's finding on his explorations.
Steve has been slowly creating this site as he learns HTML programming and
Microsoft Expression Web software. He is sure that bugs will pop up, so
let him know if you find problems with this site or have constructive
suggestions on content, layout, or whatever.
We always enjoy hearing from our readers. If you
ever have questions, comments, or just want us to know that you're out there
following along, we'd love to hear from you.
