Bright Eyes

We miss you! We are definately noticing alot of our old sailblogs friends haven't followed us over to the new blog and we miss you, so to make it easier on anyone to wants to still visit us, I will occasionally log in here and post links (I am SUPER internet lazy, so I understand if you are too.)

For those who haven't been keeping up, we moved the takeoff date to Jan 2011, which is not far off and are busy getting ready to buy and install solar panels and dinghy davits. as always when we do something, much failure is bound to occur. See u guys over there

Our New Blog Home

24 May 2010 | Blogspot

After alot of consideration we have decided to move our blog to Blogspot. The site already includes everything that we had with this blog as well as some extras. As we learn how to use Blogger better you will notice even more improvements. The improvements you will notice right away are a better template, better organization of links, a blog roll, a survey, email subscription, and followers.

From now on all new blogs will be written at http://svbrighteyes.blogspot.com/ The next 4 blogs will also have a preview written here at Sailblogs and then Sailblog will act as a library for our old blogs.

We are thankful for all of the Sailblog readers we have and we hope that you will follow us over to Blogspot. The adventures of Bright Eyes are just beggining!
