The ruminations and misadventures of an old man with too much time on his hands.

Hello Readers!


 

Google's Blogspot is a great tool for creating your own blog on the cheap. I'm having fun rambling on about sailing to anyone out there in the ether who'll take the time to log in.

Blogspot also offers some nice stats that give me an idea of how many page views my site is getting and where my readers are coming from.

Since I have only had one page view so far today,  I would like to give a shout out to that reader from Germany who is using a Firefiox browser on a Windows operating system.   Hey! (we say 'hey' rather than 'hi' in North Carolina)  I hope you're finding something worth returning for.  Please take the time to comment on the blogs you like.  I'd appreciate the feedback.

I've also had readers from the United Kingdom and France.  Not many, but it's a start.

I just started the blog about two weeks ago and the first entry dates back to 2010 when I decided to buy my first sailboat.  I've been following the timeline since then and just caught up to my current hunt for a new boat.

It appears that now that winter has arrived, not many new sailboat ads are being posted.  It may be late winter or early spring before the activity begins to pick up again.

In the meantime,  I intend to just keep ruminating.  Not familiar with the word?  Look it up.  It'll give you something more constructive to do than reading my blog.

Thanks for stopping by,

Paul

  1. Howdy Paul, Nice work on the blog. Have picked up on a few of your ruminations and found them enjoyable. No problem with the S2 9.2C going to windward. There are a few links to YouTube videos of our vessel AQUILA under sail that will illustrate my point. Good luck & keep up the good work...
