Writing a sailing blog in the New England winter is like…is like…
Well the general feeling is “loss for words” I suppose.
My view on all of this was stated very early on here – it is largely a self indulgent activity with little merit beyond scratching my own itch to babble on about what has been plaguing me lately.
Not so much plagues me in the winter time though, at least not in terms of problems or issues with the boat – it’s all tucked away. No real adventures either, at least not on the boat. But it’s not my intent to make this a monologue of my life; I’m pretty sure the demand for what I am doing with my life away from the boat is less than for a play-by-play recall of cleaning the bilge.
So until the summer; we’ll see what I can come up with that’s interesting. Or not…boat work actually DOES start soon for the 2009 season and this is supposed to be about the boat, and our adventures.
Until then, well I wrote this little bit of piffle to find an excuse to use the picture I borrowed, because it made me laugh out loud when I stumbled across it.

I have not been a blogger very long. And I debated about starting one because I felt like it could be misconstrued as bragging. Also, I was not sure if anyone would read it.
I was encouraged by several friends and a niece. A couple friends retired a couple years ago, live in RV’s and travel the country. They are currently snowbirding in AZ and mainly write of their motorcycle rides around the areas. I find their exploits interesting.
My niece is doing her internship at a hospital in Great Britain and she writes about her travels(when she has time).
Another friend lives in New York and his blog is more for trying to show off his photography. His gets reduntant with many photos of the same thing and his weekly cuisine photos.
Mine is intended as more of a travel log for my retirement days and not just sailing adventures. I also look at it as kind of a journal.
As one of my friends says: “It’s my blog and I will write what I want to”.
Keep it up!
Yeah, I’ll keep going for a while.
I can’t even get my parents to read this stuff though.
