Smaller Boat Blogs & Bluewater Voyages

[Ryban]

What are you guys' favorite blogs of people endeavoring on bluewater adventures in smaller boats (27-31' range)?

well i dont know of any specific blogs but am interested in as much info as i can get,,i have recently purchased a 30ft steel yacht and have dreams to sail her far and wide in the future..hence the interest in blogs and other sailor's experiences...

Guys,

Just so you know, when the weather's awful, it's not good for the camera, so don't expect anything but a "it's all mai tai's in the sunset" sort of thing, really. When it's awful, you're too busy to get the camera, even if it would be okay.

Only a little over 150,000 n. mi.

This is a great adventure, old but good. Not really a blog, but well worth a read. I remember being inspired by the original seaspray articles as a kid.

But makes for an interesting television. C.f. the commercial success of the Deadly Catch show. Go Pro (or a cheap Chinese clone thereof) in a waterproof box should do it.

An excellent read. Thanks for the link. I believe a full course in celestial navigation is in my very near future.
