I like learning about new things and generally figuring out how stuff works. This year the Chicago Yacht Club is promoting Twitter as a way of keeping family, friends, and coworkers informed about what's happening during the 2012 Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac, so I've been exploring Twitter and digging more into social networking.
I've taken the challenge and dusted off my little used #Saildonnybrook Twitter account and added a couple of feeds to this blog. The first, just below this blog's page title, contains Donnybrook's Tweets. The second, to the right, shows the #RaceToMackinac Twitter feed.
Facebook is still linked to this blog site via Social RSS, however they've limited their capabilities to one update a day. The feed also hasn't worked since March, but hopefully it's fixed.
I don't like facebook, but it is a necessary evil in the age of social networking.
I'll still be posting here, but during the Mac Race and return cruise I plan to make more short updates via Twitter.
Sail Donnybrooks Twitter page is https://twitter.com/Saildonnybrook. The facebook page is here.
The purpose of this blog is to share the Sailboat Donnybrook and crew's Lake Michigan sailing, cruising, and racing experience. Donnybrook is a 1990 Catalina 34 that sails out of Belmont Harbor in Chicago. The highlight of Donnybrook's sailing season is a 2 week Lake Michigan/Great Lakes cruise which begins with the Chicago Mackinac race. Anything sailing, cruising, or Catalina 34 related will be featured. From the Captain and Crew of Donnybrook, enjoy!
