I like mine, and the blog is about to detail how we refit our Alberg 30 for liveaboard/cruising. We are pulling the boat and pulling her on side of the house in a month or so
I really enjoy Sean Mulligan's blog Full n By. He trailers his Paradox and Montgomery 23 to some incredible adventures, and has some interesting sailing philosophy as well.
Though there are no fresh posts on it, the Sequitur blog still gets a few hundred hits a day. At its height it received over 3000 per day. It seems to have become an archive: Sequitur Blog
All the fresh posts now go to the blog of our new boat: Zonder Zorg, which gets a few hundred visits per day.
I love Banyan and Windtraveler. Both of the ladies are exceptional writers and help you live through them.
Windtraveler is in the early family stages with one cute little girl and two more girls on the way. She takes very nice pics and is honest with what it takes to cruise.
Banyan is retired and living the life I want in 2 years. She emotes passion in her writings of the surroundings and the people they meet.
Katie & Jessie on A Boat - Two carefree (mostly) 20-something friends embark on a sailing adventure from the Great Lakes to the Bahamas aboard a Cal 2-27
Sundowner Sails Again - The refit and eventual adventure of a couple and their Westsail 32
SV Estrellita 5.10b - Veteran South Pacific cruisers enjoying the ride through the SoPa aboard their Wauquiez Pretorien
The Voyage of Swell - A female pro surfer takes on the seas solo (mostly) aboard her Cal 40.
I'm also partial to my own blog, chronicling my fascination with sailing, boats and water.
I have a pictures-only sailing blog. Would hardly classify it as "best" or even "meh" but it's there. Not having to think of things to write makes it easier for me to keep posting to it.
My sailing activities aren't exotic, but I feel like my blog is rich with all of the contemplative introspection, heart-pounding exhilaration, and profanity-inducing frustrations of sailing.
First of all, thank you all for sharing as I have expanded my bookmarks to include many listed above. And to the keepers and writers of those blogs, I hope you don't mind if I add them to my own blog called - My Nauti Mind- I'd Rather be Sailing
I'm a newb to boat ownership, coming up on a year of ownership of an 82-Catalina 27 called "Corleto"- we sail Coastal BC.
You might consider adding a link to the blog hop The Monkey's Fist: Collecting Cruisers' Perspectives where topic coordinators curate pages with link to liveaboard/cruiser blog posts on a wide range of topics from pets aboard to energy management to culinary adventures. Disclaimer: I've curated a couple of pages (Going It Alone and Energy Management).
My own blog is www.svambrosia.com; the misadventures of a single girl and her boat.
Please check out our blog and feel free to link it on yours. We're a family of four, the two parents and a 4 and 1 year old. Been sailing for 4 years but only blogging since last April.
I invite all DIY'ers, card-carrying or wannabees, to visit my blog at stingysailor.wordpress.com. It's only a year old so far, but growing with restoration and improvement projects of all sizes. Every post gives an opportunity to share your work, so join in the conversation while you're there!
Make sure you have comment moderation turned on in you blog. For the first time in a long time I have been hit by a number of spam comments. They are not abusive, I believe it is just to get more search engine hits. Of course I don't post them.
It really shows how a normal guy can successfully own a sailboat. Sounds like a great marina too. I will likely be shoved out on the outer dock myself!
I also like this, as he is OCD (in a good way) about his refit:
There used to be a blog about a guy that bought a Catalina 30 in northern California . He sailed it down to Mexico , then to the South Pacific . The last I read it he was doing repairs (he hit a reef) . His plan was to get fixed and sail on to New Zealand . Sorry I can't remember the name of it I found out about it from Latitude 38 . Anybody know it ?
