It's definitely C34 related, but our site isn't really set up for a sailing blog. If you like, you can view it here:

Steve,
I just wrote a memo to the webmaster suggesting he put a link to your blog on the Voyages page. Great stuff! Thanks for sharing it.
And, without divulging too much (for fear of breaking promises), we're planning on housing such content on the c34 site as well. One way of doing this might be on a not very dramatic improvement to our current homepage... really just a re-fresh. You can see it here in wiki format: http://www.c34.org/wiki/index.php?title=Test_homepage. Remember, it's just a test page for now. The coding is kluge (I can say that since I did it), but it gives room to have individual points of view on a rotating basis (see the top right-hand column "On My Mind"). It could certainly be a place for links to individual blogs.
Why not just post it to a new wiki page? I do see though that other respondents log onto the blog, so keeping it here on the C34 website might limit it's "readership." Nice job, Steve.

Keep the posts coming... that's a nice blog site for cruisers,
complete with google earth tracking.
Blogs are different bird from wikis (and bbs for that matter)
as they are chronological in nature, combine pages/posts
that don't change and include simple discussion. However...
The wiki is open to anyone who would like to create a page
about a cruise that they did and/or destination pages...
similar to: http://www.c34.org/voyages/index.html
Or it could even have a page associated with your boat...
similar to the 'Gallery' section. http://www.c34.org/gallery.html
The nice thing about our wiki is that you could make a page
titled 'Your Boat Name' and put some details about you, your
boat and your cruises.... and of course a cruise could link
to another page titled 'Cruise Desitnation' or
'Cruising the ____ coast' ... etc. You get the idea of
the options/flexibility.
Give it a try... explore our wiki http://c34.org/wiki/ and
see what's there and what is being added. If you're
interested in making a page try editing a page or
at least clicking the edit tab of an existing page and
learn a bit of the wiki markup syntax. (There are also
tutorial links to help guide you through). For editing
you need to login, just use your same username/pass
as you do for this bbs.

Though the google position feature was nice, what won the day for us was being able to send in a blog update via email over the single side band. Speaking of which the single sideband remains a vapour ware item in our cruising arsenal. Anybody have an Icom 802 with AT 140 tuner that they would like to unload for say $500? Throw in the Pactor usb modem, I'll gladly pay $700!
