  Adventures on Boats

Boat Blogs 


Where to start? Let me share some of my favorites. Explore and follow those that interest you. There are a lot more blogs than those listed here. If you find one that interests you, look around on their site, bloggers often list like-minded sites that they follow.

If you are just starting and you are reading a blog and a place or term is mentioned that you are not familiar with -- STOP -- raise your hand and open a new tab and google it. I am old school, real old, and I learned to raise my hand when I did not understand a word. I still do that, only I raise my hand in my head.

​In the following lists, the format is:  Website (if different than boat name) - Boat name - Boat type & size (in feet) - My Comment - Year their adventure started. 
​
​I have also added some un-commented links for you to explore.
