I just looked through the whole gallery. That was a heck of a project. Not only was it a labor of love but that sailing bug bit hard a good hold throughout the years. Very well done. I really like the rounded hull and that all the interior woodwork has no corners. Very creative and turned out great!

Several bloggers have started a collaborative effort to make it easier for readers to find blog posts on specific cruising and liveaboard topics. It's called The Monkey's Fist - if you are a blogger, take a look and please consider contributing a link. In our first month, we have 11 published topics with 4 more in development. We have 8 topic coordinators working on additional topics. Over 60 bloggers have contributed links.

I want to be the first person to circumnavigate the globe and not write about it!
(But I do post photos and comments on Instagram for family and friends)

Wordpress.com ones are easy to make. It would be need to have a feed that could pull one's cruiser's forum posts.

We keep a blog. When I started reading these things in college in the mid-late 2000s, it seemed like there wasn't more than 5 or 6 blogs chronicling the sailing exploits of people <35 years old. It's a less elite group these days, it seems.

Are more young people doing it, or are we all just blogging about it?

I do a modified blog/website. I set the blog up more like a web site one can comment on. That is a post is a project, so there are few posts as I keep updating the same post/project.

Blogging while cruising can be a chore at times. I mostly post pics on our blog. I have an app that allows me to work on the blog off internet. Then when we hit town I send off the posts. Our family and friends seem to enjoy it.

We have one for family and friends and anyone else who wants to enjoy the journey with us. The website is adventuresafterfifty.com and we're also on Facebook at Adventures After Fifty.

I would rather be out there then sitting in here maintaining a blog, right?

Really takes like 10 minutes or less 1 or 2x a week to maintain a blog. It does not take too much away from being "out there" 😜

I am now catching up on 11 years! A non- sailing friend asked "how do you remember what you did?" Log Books! Thank goodness for those notes. Interestingly, seeing a lot of boats that don't do them anymore...is it a generational thing or doing the blog suffices?

I've meticulously documented my lengthy refitting of Oystercatcher, my Ericson 25. I'm so meticulous, in fact, that I've only had time to document about 1/2 to 2/3 of my work on the boat. Nevertheless, the pictures and the details that I have provided on the website have already proven to be of great value to me. I often go back an read my own articles to remind myself of how exactly I did this or that task. I'm now on my third 35mm camera. I've worn out two others.
