With checkpoints at Charles Creek, Ascension Beach, Overtons, Rex Marine and by Peach Island in the harbor, the players (armed with water pistols and blasters) had a GREAT TIME !

Severe Fouling this Summer
The very warm weather we have recently  experienced has encouraged rapid marine growth, faster and greater than we've seen in years ! If you are experiencing decreased performance, higher operating temperatures, cooling system problems, generator shutdowns ("LOC" low coolant flow / overheat), etc.... It's time to look at your bottom ! Blocked intakes, hoses, heat exchangers, fouled propellers and rudders, bow thrusters, oh my ! Schedule a shorthaul / power wash or dig out your flippers, it's that time of year.

Boating Skills: What do all thoses symbols on my GPS plotter really mean ?
Are they the same as what's on a paper chart ? A qualified answer is yes, but different manufacturers create charts different ways, but the symbols used all mean something.
NOAA Chart No. 1 is the Rosetta Stone needed to unlock the symbols on charts. Chart No. 1 "Nautical Chart Symbols, Abbreviations and Terms" provides descriptions and depictions of the basic elements and symbols used on nautical charts published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA).
Types of bottoms, wrecks, submerged rocks that are above water at high tide, all the fun obstacles that boaters on the Sound (and the Norwalk Islands) must face every time they go out ! So download Chart No. 1 and pull out your Norwalk Island chart, spend a little time and be amazed at how detailed the charts are for our own backyard !
