Who Cares?
The frustration of publishing this blog with sketchy Internet is sometimes overwhelming. I need to know who cares if I continue to bang my head against this bloggy wall. Perhaps I should resort to the 30 second "sound bite" and just post to Facebook; is everyone's attention span really that small? Please convince me to continue by posting a comment. If I receive even 5 comments I will continue, but less than that, maybe not....
Yes Laura please continue to publish your blog. I check Fortunes Afloat every day or so to see what kind of new adventures you and Malcom are doing on your trip.
Laura, I enjoy your blog very much. And live vicariously thru it.Your blog would make good notes for a future book. You are going to write a book aren't you? You gotta write a book. Our very best to you and Malcom on you adventures. Dave and Kathy Gladden, on Idaho in Stockton
Thank you very much for the comment. It's good to know other sailors are enjoying our blog. I'll probably continue it; I was just in a snit yesterday because of the slooooooow Internet. Laura
Malcom and Laura, Bettie and I really enjoy your accounts of sailing. It brings back so many neat memories, we never had the nerve you guys have to do that. I had my 80th birthday dec 1st, so all we can do is enjoy your adventures, don't quit writing. Just think of the book you can write when you get done.Have fun from Bud and Bettie Renfro. Westsail Someday, used to be anyway.

Malcolm & Laura, I care. Every Sunday I pull up your blog and read it and give a summary to Ernie. If you were to go on FB I would not get such an interesting story. I live vicariously through your blog. Helen Ganas PS Malcolm, I miss your calls.

Heya mom! I don't get as much time as I would like to check out the blog but I do love seeing what you're up to. I wish I was there with you for most of the posts I see on here. I want you to be happy though and I think blogging should be fun, don't stress yourself out if you're not enjoying the process. I love ya mom! <3
Thanks Katie for the comment. I do enjoy blogging and it is fun, but when we've got dodgy Internet it's like torture. But the creative process is sometimes painful, eh? I'll keep blogging. Read and enjoy when you can. Love you too.
Laura yes please keep your blog going, I don't read it as often as I should but when I do I try to go back to the last time I read. I love seeing the interesting places you guys go to and then living through you vicariously.
