See a Classic Beauty - Lady Olga
Hidden in plain sight, down the A-Dock ramp, is a  n older boat who's beauty and detailing mask her history of four Atlantic crossings, transiting the Panama Canal, visiting the Galapagos Islands, and voyaging from Bermuda to the Azores, then to Portugal, Gibraltar, and France. Based in Porto Rico with US owners who love to travel, Lady Olga is lovingly tended by her captain, Errol Sargeant and crew. Sargeant was weened on model boats at his family's shop on the island of Bequia (See link HERE), so it's no surprise that Lady Olga looks as she does.  This season, after her stay at Norwalk Cove, Lady Olga will summer along the New England coast, ultimately reaching Camden, Maine before heading back to the Caribbean.

AIS - The Future is Bright
Last we we touched on what AIS (automatic identification system) is, and how it works. Now we can look at some of it's uses and potential uses.
If you missed, read it HERE. Now we can look at some of it's uses and future uses.
As a Man Overboard Locator
A recent safety product introduced by Kannad (a McMurdo Co.) is the Safelink R-10, a personal AIS man overboard transmitter.
The SafeLink R10 transmits target survivor information, including structured alert messages, GPS position informati on and a unique serialized identity number back to the onboard plotter or AIS receiver. An inbuilt high precision GPS receiver provides accurate position information to assist in quick recovery of survivors. It will transmit continuously for a minimum of 24 hours and has a 7 year battery storage life and features a flashing LED indicator light to aid detection at night and a self test facility with battery use indicator.
Put one of these on your man overboard gear or in your inflatable life vest for added security. For info, click HERE
Virtual Buoys
Imagine an important buoy being hit by a tug and barge and is now missing. It might take a week or more to get a replacement buoy on station. Now imagine that a portable electronic unit with a VHF antenna is put on the shoreline nearby, transmitting an AIS signal that creates a "virtual" buoy on the correct spot on the water. Of course it's invisible to the eye, but highly visible on your AIS receiver or chart plotter. Welcome to the future!
The Coast Guard is testing a system in San Francisco that can do just this and more. It may take years to roll it all out and for AIS receivers to reach all segments of the marine market, but it's coming.

Ban the Bottle
Use a refillable water bottle!
Did you know Americans use 1,000 plastic water bottles every second, and almost all will end up in landfills, even though they can be recycled? That's about 38 billion water bottles a year.
Considering the 1.5 million barrels of oil needed to make those bottles, the environmental impact of plastic bottle waste is truly staggering
Join Ban the Bottle, an organization who advocates a simple commitment to reduce your personal waste by giving up bottled water, even if it's just a few days each week. Together, filtered water and a reusable bottle are an ideal solution for going green at home and on the go. It's an easy change that can make a big difference.
