Chine bLog

So I was merrily flipping through the latest issue of WoodenBoat recently when I turned the page and was greeted by an article entitled "Boat Blogs." Great, I thought, glad to see they are covering this... but what are the chances... Well, lo and behold, they we are - Chine bLog making the pages of the granddaddy of our space. Needless to say, it was a thrill. I believe the person who really needs a thank you is author Eric Sorensen, author of From the Dock - The Official Blog of the S/V Mistral, an experiment in public seamanship -- free rides! -- and the coolest old sailboat in Seattle. Coming soon to an adrenal gland near you. Best wishes, Eric. Keep us queued up on your newsreader!

In case you are interested, Eric also found our friends at intheboatshed.net and Craft A Craft, among others. Dovetails looks like one to check out - the author has a friendship sloop, which makes him our instant friend.

Our rigorous standards of judgment here at Chine bLog were bested this evening with the discovery of Craft A Craft, a blog on boat design, building, and cruising that has a number of good pieces in it. More importantly, Craft A Craft found us and complimented the name. That, my friends, is how you make headlines here. Like bloggers aren't the biggest whores around... ;^). Seriously, if you are interested in systems stuff, for instance, go there - I don't know %*& about that stuff, and this seems like a good source. Author Bruce Dillahunty is tech savvy and topically in line, and it looks like he has found some good resources. Keep an eye - or an RSS feed, if that's your bag - on this one.
