November 2007, friends, is when the Cosco Busan hit the Bridge. We are just now getting our wildlife back to pre-spill levels, but it’s clear that things were really disrupted.

As boaters, most of us practically live in sunscreen. So the work that the EWG does is of critical importance to our health and the health of our friends and families. I’m reprinting their email here. If you haven’t checked out the work they do, go here. It’s shameful. EWG tested 1,606 sunscreens for last [...]

I have never been on a cruise. Lots of people I know have, and think they’re wonderful. The closest I’ve come to this sort of thing is liveaboard diving, which tends to be a lot rougher and a lot less filling (liveaboards frown at giving you more diving weight because you’ve gotten fat on their [...]

OMG, I am laughing so hard I’ve got tears coming out of my eyes. And here’s the original, if you’re motivated to see what the lyrics actually are. My pal Toast‘s father in law, an older, redoubtable type, once assembled a playlist of all the songs he could find that had the words “boat” or [...]
