I'm going sailing next week, off the coast of Maine. Not sure if I'm going to leave this blog untouched while I'm gone, or leave it in the stewardship of a trusted buddy. We shall see.This will be my 5th sailing trip in 4 years. Here's a picture from last year -- this isn't the boat I was on, but another boat that was in the same harbor one night.
We'll be sailing up through Penobscot Bay. No real destinations, just going where the wind (or if needed, the motor) takes us.
If the thought of sleeping on the ocean for a few days and doing practically nothing whatsoever sounds appealing, here's a link to read up on windjammer sailing in Maine. I will be on one of the boats listed on this site.

Hi Curtis. Sorry, have been crazy busy today.
Your sailing sounds like much more "real" sailing than mine. I'll mostly be napping and reading and if I'm good about it, writing.
RE Babble, it's horribly addictive so use caution. 49 words for this grid today, for your first time, is good. Yes, you can log off and come back later. Also, feel free to ask for help in the chat -- everyone is very nice (except for the occasional brat). And lastly, there are all sorts of useful links on the page to get help, especially up at the top. Read through that, and it will make more sense.
Hey nrkii, you'll be up my way next week! I live a couple hours from Penobscot Bay, and have a good friend who lives in Sprucehead. Have fun sailing! I've never been sailing, but have been out on the Lobstah boats with some friends from Friendship!
Curtis, I'm a babble-addict, so I finish Babble every night. I wish I had the discipline to just play for an hour and move on.
Another recommendation if you keep playing, look for the link to BabblersAnonymous at the bottom of the page, and from there, go to General section and click on Stats. There, you'll get a list of all the two-letter starts of today's words (and point values). It can really make the last words come much easier.
Douglas! Good to hear from you here. I'm so jealous of you for living in Maine. Please save some space for me, because one day I'm going to figure out how to make my income portable, and Maine's where I'm going.
(A note to Curtis about my sailing ... me, the captain? ha! I'm just a lazy passenger! All heavy lifting, including cooking, done by a fabulous crew. My job is to help raise sails, when I feel like helping, and to not trip over the ropes and fall overboard.)
