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.
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 wasnโt 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 the medallion from Carolyn in Montreux, Switzerland at the Septembre Musical festival on Sept. 29th. By passing the medallion she made me part of this beautiful project. Thank You Carolyn, you are a gem. I will pass it on. #1888

I received the medallion from Carolyn at the Winery โLa Ferrieraโ in Atina, Italy after a wine tour in September 2022. Be part of this project is something to be proud of. I received the medallion 878 and Iโll be honoured to pass it on in order to make sure that Russโs journey never ends! Thanks Carolyn for your kindness and Happy Birthday again!
