LIVING ON A BOAT

Living on a boat will be one of the most fulfilling life experiences you can have.  You just have to learn to like the smell of Diesel and take a liking to spiders, it will grow on you!   Besides giving me an outlet to practice my much needed writing skills.  My hope is those who stumble on this blog can take away something useful from it.  I’d love to know if I persuaded you to take the plunge!

Other sections of this blog are things that I’m either passionate about or amuse me.  So have fun exploring especially my special section on Entomophagy. ( en(t)əˈmäfəjē )   just keep your mind open.  Trust me you wont die!

biodiesel

Years ago I drove a TDI and filled it exclusively on B20.  Loved the idea of using a non-petroleum fuel source while smelling exhaust that reminisced deep fried hot wings.   Recently over the winter I had leaking diesel issue that left a strong bouquet of Eau De Diesel.  I’m excited to announce I will be posting a future blog page on biodiesel and the use of it in marine diesel engines.  ~ Stay tuned!

About Me

Why am I doing this? I want to give back to you the things I’ve learned living on a boat. Tell you about the stuff I love to cook and a little bit about the things that amuse me.

Even though I’m a man of many talents I’ll do my best and stick to the things that are mostly boatish. ☺

“It is every man's obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it.”
