Once upon a time, I wrote a post about nine sailing blogs I had a bit of a crush on. In some ways, I really wish I hadn't written that post because it only called out just a few of the many, many, many blogs I follow and adore. To be honest, those were really just the ones that were on my mind on that particular day. So, as a follow-up to that post, I thought I would start a list of all of the sailing blogs currently on my radar screen.
I think it is great that people are so willing to share their sailing adventures - whether they're just in the planning stage, have been out there for years or have pulled up the anchor and moved onto a new stage of their life. There are so many different perspectives, styles of writing, descriptions of different places you can sail and travel to, stories of the highs and the lows, fantastic pictures and some great comedy moments as well. I've been truly inspired by all of the blogs that I have been reading and learned heaps.
I have to say that I've found that discovering new sailing blogs to read is sometimes like a little bit of a treasure hunt. There are gems hidden out there, but sometimes hard to find. And I know that I've always appreciated it when other people have shared their blog rolls as they have pointed me in the direction of new sailing blogs to read and adventures to follow. So now it is my turn to share as well with my sailing blog list below.
If you don't see your blog here and want to share, let me know as I would love to check it out and add to the list.

Thanks for a great list, its blowing 40 and raining, a perfect day for some web sailing :)
ReplyDeleteThanks - sounds like a perfect day to read sailing blogs!
DeleteOooh, so many new ones to check out! Plus yours of course - I HAD to click on a blog titled "The Cynical Sailor" when it showed up in our "referrers" list. Too bad I don't have reliable enough internet to get through all of these - gonna have to pick and choose a bit. Hardly Anything Works is on the short list - we can totally relate. Definitely check out Venture Minimalists (http://www.ventureminimalists.net/) and SV Red Thread (http://svtheredthread.com) - two other young couples I follow via the blogosphere. Nice to meet you electronically!!!
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Harmony

www.taketothesea.us
Thanks Harmony - great suggestions which I'll check out and add to this list!
DeleteGood morning from the Mediterranean, We are a family who sold everything they own 4 years ago to buy a boat to live aboard whilst we sail around the world slowly. If you want to do things properly then don't look at our blogs as we are always getting into trouble and messing things up. We would be honoured if you could add us and our boat Cygnus III to your list though.
ReplyDeletewww.cygnus3.com
Wow, your blog looks very cool with some great graphics! Have added you to the list. Can't wait to explore your adventures as it is reassuring to know that other people get into trouble and mess things up too!
DeleteThank you to The Cynical Sailor for adding us to the list. You will see that if you can do something wrong then we have done it. We do occasionally learn by our mistakes but we also find newer and far better ways of doing something else wrong. Thank you again for adding us.
ReplyDeleteGreat list of blogs! I'm especially interested in sailing in Europe, i am sure i will find something for myself there! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would like to welcome you to our Sailing Community - Clubtray Sailing
ReplyDeleteAgree totally with your appreciation of sailing blogs. Great way to share info and adventure. We sail Australia - All of it. Our website has Cruising Guides, masses of photos and vids, practical tips and of course our blog.
ReplyDeleteYou guys have a great website - lots of useful information for folks wanting to sail in Australia!
DeleteThanks so much for sharing our blog - it's fun to be part of the blogging community and to learn so much from everyone here!
ReplyDeleteNo problem - you guys have a great blog!
DeleteYay! Nice to be on your list. Thank you :) Can't wait for a rainy day and a sleeping baby so I can start checking all these out xx
ReplyDeleteWe're glad to have you :-)
DeleteGlad we made the list! sure means a lot. Thank you for enjoying our travels. - LivingAdrift.com S/V Splendid Isolation
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to following long on your adventures :-)
DeleteJust wanted to say thanks for adding our blog (MangoesMarleyAndMermaids.com) to your list! We're still new to the whole blogging thing, but we're trying hard! :)
ReplyDeleteNo problem! Love having you guys on the list - you have a fun blog :-)
DeleteHi there,

ReplyDeletehttp://pathfinderriksbuild.blogspot.com/
thank you.

Hi Rik - I had you listed under Building a Pathfinder originally, but now I've changed it to Sailing Vanessa :-)
DeleteThanks so much for listing us. Wowzers there are so many blogs out there and I bet this is just a small handful really. All these blogs mean all those people writing them that have some awesome memories to read back on later in life. Great post.
ReplyDeleteHappy to have you guys on board - your blog is really interesting and I love the fact that you split your travels between your boat and camper van.
DeleteThis is a great list, thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteFeel free to add us: http://www.aroundncircles.com
-Matt & Michelle on s/v Giro
Thanks for popping by - have added you onto the list :-)
DeleteHi, great blog,great list of potential reading.
ReplyDeleteWww.poormanssailing.WordPress.com is my feeble attempt!
Hi - I've added you to the list! Given your focus on buying and restoring a boat on a tight budget, I'm sure lots of people will find it of interest. We're all looking for ways to save money given how expensive boats are :-)
DeleteThanks so much for having OurWaterLog.com on your list! I just found you and was surprised we made it! Thank again
ReplyDeleteNo problem - glad to have you onboard!
DeleteHi Ellen,
ReplyDeleteFeel free to add our sailing blog It's Irie (www.itsirie.com)to the list. It documents our eight years of cruising on our 35 foot catamaran, from the beginning to the end, from the US East Coast through the Caribbean to Tahiti in the Pacific.
Sorry Liesbet - I can't believe I missed this comment. I've added you on :-)
Delete"The cynical sailor'! I had to take a look :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great blog! I have only just started my blog (www.sailingkoala.co.uk), but seem to end up reading other blogs while searching for maintenance solutions, suppliers and other bits and bobs.
I should be sailing,
Hi Trevor - thanks for popping by and your email. I've added you to the list. I can completely relate to being "diverted" by other blogs when I should be working on more productive activities :-)
DeleteGreat list of sailing blogs!!!! Please add dainyrays.blogspot.com to your list for s/v Rainy Days. Also, please correct your listing for Violet Blue to Violet Hour. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBob
Thanks for letting me know about Violet Hour - I've updated that and added you to the list :-)
DeleteThis is a great list. Thank you
ReplyDeleteThanks - glad you've found it helpful!
DeleteYou guys linked to us!! Now we feel like we're grown-up bloggers :) Instead of just having two readers (Wife and I) LOL. Thank you! You guys are awesome!
ReplyDeleteWe're happy to have you on the list! You've got a great blog :-)
DeleteWOW I am blown away by how many people have embraced the cruising lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteMy partner and I are on the countdown before we two will join you all on the water. We have given our notices at work, have been saving......saving.....saving. Looking to sell the house in a month or two then go on the hunt for our new home on the water. I am like a kid at xmas reading everyone's blogs!
You're at such an exciting time in your journey - downsizing, giving your notice and looking for your next home on the water. It's so much fun to read sailing blogs at this stage. If you guys start a sailing blog, let me know and we can add it to the list :-)
DeleteThank you so much for having SailingChiron.com on your list. We've just finished one adventurous chapter and we're on to writing a totally new book!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate being included on your blog list!
No problem - happy to have you on the list :-)
DeleteWow, what a list! You can also include "Sailing La Vagabond". They are the most popular on YouTube.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize the La Vagabond also had a blog. For some reason, I thought they just did vlogging. I'll have to look into it - thanks for flagging up that they blog too.
DeleteInteresting article about how these sailors create an income for themselves today - http://royaltyyachts.blogspot.co.za/2017/03/can-i-make-living-from-sailing.html
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing
DeleteWow, this is an awesome list! Would be honoured if you could include us (sailraptor.blogspot.com) too. Thank you! S/V Raptor
ReplyDeleteNo problem - have added you on to the list.
DeleteThanks! Love your blog.
DeleteHello! Great post - I'm reading only a few of those so have loads to check out. My blog's ongwen.wordpress.com - 3 and a half years renovation and 1 and a half years sailing on a ferro gaffer from the perspective of someone who knows (or knew, I'm getting there) next to nothing about either. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHi Tricia - thanks for popping by. I've added your blog to the list and look forward to checking it out :-)
DeleteGreat post, I hadn't found all the blogs you've listed, that's great. Sailing blogs are the best, they are just inspiration to be out on the water. This past spring I started a sailing blog about sailing around the west coast of BC. I'd love it if you'd check out my blog and consider adding it to your list!
ReplyDeleteCheers
Tara http://www.coastapus.com/
Hi Tara - I've added your blog to the list. It looks like you're a great cook. I showed my hubby the picture of your crab stuffed avocado and now I think he wants me to make it for him :-)
DeleteWow! That's a LOT of sailing blogs. Thanks for the add. I follow some of these but I'll be checking out more! x
ReplyDeleteThere sure are a lot of them out there! Happy to have you on the list :-)
DeleteI am a beginner and thankful for such a great list. I will check them out! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your reading :-)
DeleteGreat list of blogs, I knew about some of them but not all, I'll be checking these out. Thanks for including my blog on your list. Sailing is such a great sport, it's so awesome to see all the blogs and an interest in sailing! Great post.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteWe have recently started our sailing adventure in the Mediterranean which we are recording in a blog. This is directed at family and friends mostly but we aim to cover practical sailing and admin issues as part of it which may be of interest to others.
We would be pleased if you include our blog in your list, which is an excellent resource.
Best wishes

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteWe are a family of 5; 3 daughters (5,6 and 8) and are embarking on a years sailing adventure from Greece to the Caribbean. I am really keen to read blogs which are appropriate to us, ie, young families sailing through the Med and across the Atlantic. I would be very grateful if you I point me in the direction of those bloggers!! Thank you!
We were just searching this morning for a few new sailing blogs. We love hearing about other people’s adventures and how other cruisers go about life. Here’s a link to our blog.
