I've thought long and hard about starting this blog. There are so many blogs to read, so many of them overlap, so many of them are basically the same, that I have difficulty understanding why mine would be of any interest. There are an awful lot of sail boat, sailing, and cruising blogs out there, but just maybe mine will be different enough to be of interest to someone, or serve as a cautionary tale.
So what's it all about? I'll tell you what it's not about:
It's not about a handsome, rich, white couple cruising to exotic locations, spending gobs of cash, making you feel bad about yourself for not being them.
It's not about a professional yacht racing rockstar, writing his own paycheck as he races a Volvo 70 around the world.
It's not a sailboat restoration blog, a DIY, or a "how-to".
Mostly I guess, it's about a guy of limited means who has barely learned how to sail, who gets bitten by the racing bug. It's meant to be light-hearted, with plenty of self-deprecation. It's about doing something that a lot of people in the U.S. really don't think about doing, making a mess of it, and laughing your ass off about it.
