I know what you're asking. "Why the heck is the blog named Broken Fishstick!?" I'll tell you about the name in a bit. First I want to explain the reason behind this blog.
It started sometime around the close of the year 2007. Well technically it started long before that, but that's when it REALLY started. You see, I've had an off-again on-again dream to live aboard a sailboat and cruise the world for many years. I've talked about it at various times in my life, and it's always just been one of those fanciful dreams that "I'd like to do someday." So sometime last year, it resurfaced, only this time I found support.
When I started talking about it with my best friend Zane, he started talking about catamarans. After some research, I agreed that cruising on a cat would be pretty sweet. The dream quickly transitioned from fanciful to realistic, and we started planning how to make it happen. I want to be around at least until my son graduates high school, so that means 2012 at the earliest. Four short years to get everything in order, and we're going to keep a journal of the process using this blog.
The decision is easy part, and that goes for the blog too. We've both enjoyed reading blogs and travel logs from various sailing cruisers, and we both agreed we wanted a blog to keep track of our journey too, starting from the planning stage. The hard part comes when deciding what to call it.
It seems that whenever we try to think up names, everything we come up with ridiculous and unrelated. Inevitably one stands out and keeps coming up whenever the discussion comes back around. After a few days of this, we give up and just embrace the absurdity of it.
There you have it. The Story of the Broken Fishstick blog in all its truthful absurd glory!
