My O’Day 22 Sailboat Blog

I was just taping up the old main sail today on my lawn with the 12-dollar-a-roll, rip-off sail tape I bought from West Marine when this truck pulled up and parked across the street. A guy gets out and asks me if I owned an O’Day 22. I didn’t think twice and said yes. I had the boat parked in front of the house for a couple of weekends last month so I figured it was just someone who’s seen it there. Turns out he had found this blog while researching an O’Day 25 online and recognized my street since he lives in the neighborhood.

I’ve never met people who’s stumbled across any of my sites or blogs who I don’t already know. That was pretty cool. His name was Gary and he was looking to upgrade from his Hobie Cat to a bigger single hull leaner. Since I really haven’t been tracking the visitors of this site I didn’t realize anyone reads this stuff until last week when I finally checked my Gmail account. This makes me feel more obligated to write more and post more updates for everyone who visits the site. I am a bit embarrassed about this because there are some very articulate writers and bloggers out there and my stuff sometimes make me look like fool. Especially when I know I am just braindumping into a post that probably makes no sense…. Kinda like this post I suppose…. Anyways, Gary told me he enjoyed the site and I hope the rest of you do too. Don’t be shy to sign up for an account in the forums or just post a comment to say hi. I would love to hear about your projects and boat stories. If you are more adventurous, I can even give you an account to post directly to this blog. Let me know. I would not mind sharing this space with others.

Thanks again Gary for stopping by and saying hello. Good luck finding your sailboat. I am probably going to take the boat out this weekend if you want to come along. Just shoot me an email.
