I typically find most cruising blogs to be a bit dull. I recently learned about a fairly new one, the blog of S/V Kaleo that I absolutely love.It's a honest account about a nice young couple learning the ropes of sailing.
It has a special personal connection for me as they sail in the area where my lovely wife and I learned to sail and the state where the son and heir happens to be.
Their inspiration are great words to live by.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
Thank you, Adam! We truly appreciate such a warm shout out from a former Galveston Bayer. We really enjoy your posts here and look forward to keeping in touch.
Kind regards,

Have to agree with you that there is really something magical about getting in to a sailing boat and just knowing that you have to do the work but once you do you get such amazinf satisfaction!!!

The thrill we got when the sails grabbed the wind was exhilarating. What a very special treat. It was our best experience on the trip.
