Working for more than 14 years, from a 2-foot model to the 48-foot catamaran, Russ’ dream came true when The Rhumbline navigated the Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio Rivers and the Canal to the Gulf of Mexico in September 2010. While ‘Noah’ wasn’t there to see her launched, friends and family carried out his wish with fond memories.
Sailing: Christopher Cross
This website hosts the Guestbook for people who receive a medallion of ‘Rhumbline Around The World’, and tells the story of Russ’ journey from Dreams to Destinations, plus about him growing up in Iowa, his interests and his family.
Russ wasn’t able to sail The Rhumbline on the rivers, lakes, inlets, seas, and oceans of the world. So we created a way that Noah can continue his journey. If you received or found the medallion, please sign in below with the number of your medallion. Then Pass It On!!!
We’ve heard that many of you would like to track your medallion, so we set up a simple tracking system which will allow you to watch the progress of your coin! Click Here to Track Your Medallion.

>> I received coin #580 at the California Grand Casino in Pacheco, California in late February via a fellow card dealer who had received it from someone coming from Mortimer's Card Room in Monterey. I have used it as a card protector on and off until recently taking in to Las Vegas where I used it in the World Series of Poker /event #1. I will be passing it along now. What a wonderful story and way to have the memory of Russell Campion spread around the world. The coin had received some wear and the number is now hard to read. hopefully it will continue to be tracked on it's future journey!

>> Received the # 998 in Los Angeles from Caroline at Susie and Steve's wedding. We're living in Seattle and have in mind some acquaintances who plan to take to the sea for a long distance outing. Russ would be honored by the love that was evident in his sister as she approached us with this request.
