On a rare occasion, the meeting comes not in the bloggosphere, but in person - these are most special!
And this weekend, it happened again. We met Jonathan and Sarah, the brand new owners of s/v Odyssey, a beautifully maintained and fitted out Baba 35... that was coincidentally for sale right here in the Cap Sante marina. Jonathan & Sarah are from Oregon, and have both apparently been readers of this blog for some time, so when they found themselves headed to Anacortes, they contacted us and arranged a meeting... a meeting that lasted 4 hours aboard both Eolian and Odyssey, included wine and champagne (!) and a wonderful from-scratch carrot cake that Sarah had baked aboard. And it turns out that we have way more in common than we could possibly cover in that short time, so I'm sure that this was only the first of many cozy times aboard one or the other boat. Because Odyssey is going to stay in Anacortes to serve as their platform to explore the San Juans and the Inside Passage....
It turns out that Jonathan is also a blogger (I didn't know!) - you'll want to read the story of the journey that took them to Anacortes and Odyssey. There's always a story about how the boat picks you...
So the moral of this blog post is: Blog! Write! Look for opportunities to meet your fellow bloggers... don't be shy! Something wonderful could happen...

I've met fellow bloggers like that 5 times that I can recall. It's always a nice surprise to realize you know the boat name and have exchanged messages a few times. You don't feel like you are barging in, but rather a little more like old friends.
