Life aboard is living large, in a small space. Every boat owner has found ways to make life in that small space easier, more comfortable, more convenient. The idea behind this site is to provide a place where these ideas can be shared amongst the boating community.

No worries :) I'm running behind too - only it's not just this week. Our land based lives take up most of our time these days (birthdays, work, getting ready to empty the appartment...stuff..) - but we did get around to do a little work on the boat this week though. I.e. my spouse made a "bitter end" for the anchor chain - I forgot to take pics during the process, but it suits the "small projects" category nicely I think ;-) Will let you know, if it turns into a blog post.
You should see if Dmitri Orlov will let you borrow his relatively off-topic post on makeshift tillerpilot repairs.

It is a good post, but it is pretty long to copy. I think I would just post a link after a brief intro - but you've already done that! :)

IMHO - if you are doing something for free for the community, we get to complain as much as we pay ;)
