Voyage Blog Web Service

Hello all,

Does anyone know of a web service which offers blogging and some sort of voyage tracking in a packaged service? Not necessarily sattelitte tracking, but rather the ability to demonstrate your route and stops so that those back home and others whom can track and read about your progress and adventures.

I've heard that such sites exist, but I haven't had any luck finding one so far.

Lucky

Try these guys:

SailBlogs | Sailing Blog Hosting & Social Network

I use the free version, and I find its a lot easier to keep my log on line than on paper. With the free version, you can post one photo per log entry. The premium version allows you to track yourself via gps and maintain a photo gallery. Nice!

mstern,

Thanks for the tip. That seems to be just what the doctor ordered.

While you can probably find someone that offers this pre-packaged for a fee... you can also use Wordpress and Google Maps to do much the same thing for free.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
