Happy New Year all! Time to look forward at 2018 and back at 2017.
2017 was a difficult year as had to cancel two big sailing trips and so there was a distinct lack of boating. But what were the top ten posts of 2017?
By view count it was:
- London Boat Show pics for Tillerman
- Paddle boat Italie on Lake Geneva (above)
- Scorchio!
- So sad
- Boating weather
- Boats! Boats! Boats! ... on the Thames at Putney
- Sleaford Mods going down like B.H.S on the Thames
- Book review: "A Race Too Far" by Chris Eakin
- London Boat Show 2017: Recreation of Bounty Voyage
- Boris Staysail's vinning sailing "alternative truths"
By number of comments it was:
- (Untitled post)
- Boats! Boats! Boats! .... at Richmond
- Five Gigs for Glastonbury Weekend
- Niagara Falls trip 3/3 - Chicago!
- Quiz: How many ferries across the Thames are there in London?
- London Boat Show pics for Tillerman
- Boating weather
- Sleaford Mods going down like B.H.S on the Thames
- Book review: "A Race Too Far" by Chris Eakin
- Before "All is lost"
My favourites (in no particular order) were:
- Totally Thames Installation: Future Dust
- The Ferries of London: the secret Greenwich Ferry
- The London Stones: Yantlet Creek
- The Ferries of London: Shepperton to Weybridge Ferry
- Visiting Bazalgette's magnificent sewers
- Paddle boat Italie on Lake Geneva
- Two lessons from my first yacht sail
- Before "All is lost"
It was noticeable how view counts decreased in Q4 - did anyone else notice that? Maybe should have posted more London Boat Show pics for Tillerman.
I wonder what 2018 will bring...

For what it's worth, the 4th most popular post of all time on my blog is Top 9 Sailing Blogs of 2011 which included this entry...
The third blog on this amazing list of Best Sailing Blogs on the Planet is the misleadingly titled Captain JP's log. It's not a log; it's a blog. And it's not written by Captain JP. The real author is the well-known Australian journalist and sailing personality Buff Staysail who does an excellent job of impersonating a suave, man-about-town from London who supposedly spends his time ice-skating, going to the theater and watching the wild beasts in Shepherd's Bush. But he doesn't fool me. I love sailing blogs that are about the wild beasts in Shepherd's Bush.
Buff is of course the star - at least, that's what he thinks!
The wild beasts are splitting up, alas, and having their last ever gig next month not in Shepherds Bush but rather Hammersmith. It might be that this sailing blog could send a representative along, though not sure if will be Buff, Sassi or that fictional JP.
