Great Websites / Blogs / Logs
As I slave away saving and dreaming, one of my favorite ways to waste time and depress myself is to read the online logs and websites of cruisers out there living it.
The problem is I have exhausted the few I know about and though I have searched and found others digging real gems out of the moutain can be tough.
So, how about lets get a thread together for folks out there cruising to post links to their website and to post links to their favorite cruisers websites.
I am particularly interested in families cruising with kids on extended voyages. I have read the Martin family website and the Hacking families great site, what others am I missing????
Thanks for posting links!
Terry

I've also enjoyed looking at Geoff Schultz's (on this board) logs
Geoff Schultz's BlueJacket Sailing Site
In particular, I like the Google Earth view.

CRUISING YACHTS SITERING
The cruising yachts around the world are rafting up together to form this ring - a collection of cruising yacht websites and narratives of sailing passages connected together in one anchorage on the web to make it easier for visitors to find one and all. ONLY sites filling the above criteria are accepted into this ring, ie. Non commercial CRUISING YACHT websites with a story to tell with narratives and logs.
Goto: www.bravenet.com

Yacht Watermelon with Jeanne and Peter Pockel cruising the tropics.
and many more ...

Thanks guys, lots of good info. The Billabong site is just fantastic, enough to keep me enthralled for weeks no doubt.

Hi Terry,
We're also allied with sitering and there are lots of good blogs there.
If you go to any page on our blog - drop to the bottom - and you'll see the link you can use to jump through to other cruising blogs.
Cheers
JOHN

We're on Bravenet as well
Our site is with Bravenet as well, but I wasn't aware that it was just for sailors. Anyway it is a great web hosting outfit and has many things to offer for very little in the way of dollars. Unfortunatly we have been spending Cordobas here in Nicaragua while helping a friend deliver his boat to Costa Rica.
Our website has a journal section that is pretty up to date on this trip. If you go back in the journal section there is our list of still to get items even though this trip has put some of those by the way side. Who needs a hot water heater when the ambient temp in the winter is 89degrees. There is a picture section, current equipment list, boat specs, past trip page(that is not very up to date sorry), and an advertisers page that includes some of the people that we have run into on this trip.

Our blog
Hey,
We have a blog you might be interested in. We're three recently graduated college students who made a good deal of money playing poker and decided to buy a boat and sail around for an undetermined amount of time. We spent almost no time preparing and we had experience levels ranging from zero to extremely little. Somehow, we're alive and well in the Caribbean. Hopefully, you can laugh with and at us. Check it out.
Brad, Dan and Scott's Sailing Adventure
Thanks,
Dan
