Welcome to the Home Page of the
Grey Pearl
The motor yacht (m/y) Grey Pearl is owned and operated by US Coast Guard Captains Martina and Braun Jones. She is a small boat of the 'Adventure' or 'Expedition' yacht class, designed and built for worldwide cruising. She is currently on a leisurely circumnavigation of the world.
Thus far, over ten years she has taken her owners from the Canadian Maritimes south along the East Coast of the USA, deep into the Bahamas, and across the Atlantic, with three years spent exploring the Mediterranean, including the far eastern portion and the countries of Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Egypt. After returning from the Mediterranean to the USA, in 2008 she departed from Annapolis, Maryland, bore south through Central America, transited the Panama Canal and made for Seattle. That summer was spent in British Columbia and the winter of 2009 she berthed in Seattle.
In the spring of 2009, she set sail on the Great Siberian Sushi Run (GSSR) - a voyage from Seattle to British Columbia to Alaska to the Aleutians to Russia and ending August 2009 in Osaka, Japan.
The winter of 2009/10 was spent
in Osaka, and in April 2010 the Pearl set sail for Japan's Inland Sea, the Ryukyu Islands, Okinawa, Taiwan, with plans to eventually reach Hong Kong and stay there for the winter 2010/11.
In the spring of 2011 the plan is to continue westward via Thailand to the Indian Ocean and through the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. However the piracy situation in the Gulf of Aden is being closely monitored and plans may have to be adjusted accordingly.
