Last summer I posted a couple of entries about Swirl to my personal blog. I'm hoping to post more like this from the logs as I review them, but in the meantime, here's a taste of some Swirl adventures from the past. On July 5, I moved Swirl from Swantown in Olympia to a buoy on Boston Harbor. The tale is told in Swirl Sagas. On July 7, 2007, Abi fell overboard. Swirl set out for the 2007 cruising season on July 11. It was a hectic day. And the rest of the week wasn't much better.
So, what do you think? Should I go through the logs and summarize happenings from the past?
What about transcribing the logs into a Google Document file? Anybody think that's a good idea? Remember, many log entries are incredibly boring. Things like:
12 July 2006 -- Boston Harbor
1740 - Batteries 12.12 & 12.73
Engine checked and running
Bilges pumped
Clock wound and reset
1800 - tied at float for night
1855 - finally succeeded in changing bulb in port running light. What a cockamamie set up! We will change that during this haul out! Put more green paint on starboard lens.
Engine off.
or
15 July 2006 - Kingston
1045 - Fueled up, very smooth landing with crew @ fuel dock. Underway with motor. Emptied holding tank.
1200 - Pt No Pt
1230 - Foul Weather Bluff
1320 - Pt Townsend canal bridge
1437 - Moored at registration dock at Port Townsend
1715 - Moored in Slip 123 @ commercial dock
Finally, what about photos. I have lots. You probably have some, too. Should they be posted directly to the blog, or to Flickr or Picasa with links in the blog?
