Peter Wiley has just proved my point.
Is it any wonder there is a dearth of sailing related posts
here?

I could write about many sailing topics related to living aboard and
cruising for long periods of time.
Topics such as provisioning a small boat,
No of days at sea / 2 = required no of slabs of beer. Plus spirits to
taste.
caring for a pet who requires
special prescription food,
A 22LR injected to the back of the cranium......
using Photoshop and a cheap printer to produce
various legal documents that fool the authorities,
.... or having the wit, skill and time to get the real ones instead of
committing forgery.
anchoring in all
conditions so as not to drag and to get a good night's sleep even when
the wind is howling, having the tools, spares and smarts to fix any
mechanical problem that might arise underway
Not difficult for you, all you need is a tube of Sikaflex and a handful
of sheetmetal screws, that'd be within your limited abilities.....
, balancing the helm by
trimming sails so they assist the tiller,
BFD, my daysailer does that now I added a 'sprit.
generating all the electrical
power that is needed by using the sun, surviving hurricanes and
tropical storms,
AKA being somewhere else.....
catching supper with a Hawaiian sling,
Oh wow! Such expertise, it must have taken you untold years to master
that one.
etc, but who
here other than me cruises.?
It seems to me this group is a haven for day sailors, trailer sailers,
motor boaters, over the hill commercial captains, psychotic left
coasters, Long Island Sound homers, round the buoy Saturday
afternoon club racers, housewives, and strip club frequenters.
What interest would such as these have in the techniques learned
over long years of living aboard and cruising?
You could give Blobby tips on dumpster diving.
