In Defence of Blogs
1. They keep friends and family updated with where you are, what you've seen etc
2. A boating blog can be useful for a boater thinking of cruising a canal or river they had not previously been on to see what other boaters think of the river/canal.
3. They allow wannabe writers the opportunity to publish their "diaries" in a world where they would otherwise not be published.
No one is forced to read someonelses blog.
And if the blog is so boring, spare a thought for the poor family and friends who need to read the blog to see what their water gypsy family member or friend is doing.
