sailing blogs
We met many great people on our travels. Many of them set up sailing blogs for their family and friends..Here are some examples

​
We met David and Kitty on Lanzarote and later on Saint Lucia. They had bought their HR412 in Europe and were taking it back to their cruising grounds in NE United States
Pieter and Monique are the first cruisers we have met who have already completed a circumnavigation. In the Happy Bar (end of the reef, Union Island) it was great to discuss their favourite places, requirements for the Galapagos and options for the last part of the Indian Ocean.
Their website is in Dutch
Jamie and Niki are cruising in a far more unplanned, relaxed way than Skyfall. We met them in Grenada where they had been there long enough to know everyone. Their one year in Europe had turned into four. Now they plan to go through the Panama canal...sometime. Or maybe not.
We are 'Grateful' to have met them and maybe learn something here.
Their blog has some lovely photography.
Mike and Nicki have been cruising for 30 years. They have sailed around the world, circumnavigated Australia and given talks to the OCC and various yacht clubs. He has forgotten more about cruising than I will ever know! Whilst in Linton Bay Marina , awaiting the solar arch repair, I thought we had time to kill. Maybe not. Mike was kind enough to take me 'under his wing' and provided us with so much information that I needed the three weeks to digest it all!
