Yeah, so this was 2004, but I was desperate to find something boating related to read since Gary's summer trip blog is a distant memory.
The radio blogs were captured during the Trawler Transatlantic in 2004 when 18 trawlers sailed from Ft. Lauderdale to the Azores, then to Gibralter.
Click on the link below and save it as a fav. There's bit much to read in one sitting. It's a quite interesting journey especially the Bermuda to Azores leg. Not many mechanical problems but those that were done were done at sea. Imagine having your prop fouled by a fishing net 1000 miles across the Atlantic or losing all electricals in 10 foot seas.

Anyway...I just thought I'd share in case there were others like me out there- desperate for some boating stories
