Here are two - one from each side of the 49th
there is the peerless John Vigor
he sails on the western side of a big lanmass and deals with iffy weather and big tides
always worth a look

and ex pat Brit via South Africa writing from the north west USA
and then there is this bloke
http://docksixchronicles.blogspot.com/p/who-or-what-is-dock-six.html
an expat Welshman sailing in frozen Ontario
this week he writes about the reception newbies get when they post a question on these forums
Or the newbie sailor who joins a forum all excited about sailing and starts a thread wanting to find a boat for coastal sailing, occasional weekending with his/her spouse, 20-25' in length, (the boat, not the spouse) under $5000. By the time the thread reaches 3 pages in length, the newbie has been informed that he needs a boat at least 27 feet in length, that anything less than $10 000 will require at least $5 000 in repairs and he should really just join a club and take lessons for the next five years until he knows what he is doing anyway.

he also has some pix of cutting up what looks to be a pretty good boat
