Boating & Sailing @ Suite101

I have started writing a series of articles for the Boating & Sailing section of Suite101. The site will explore the topics of safe vessel use, boating emergencies, clean boating practices, and vessel maintenance. Boating represents a major growth industry worldwide and more people join our ranks daily.

I will identify relevant issues and items of interest for recreational boaters, then explore concrete ways to address these issues. Our industry is dependent on boaters who enjoy the boating experience and take the necessary steps to protect our natural environment.

Involved in boating safety and environmental protection, both as a Harbormaster and a member of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, I see the need to address both issues in more detail. I welcome you to join the discussion at Suite101.
