WL has the boat transportation to MK and as MK is where we will be spending 3 days out of our 7, it seems that staying at WL would be the best…

Is there anything fun to do at the lake like rent boats or go fishing? Thanks. …

Iran’s support for insurgents in Iraq is increasing, the Joint Chiefs chairman said. He warned that the U.S. military has the power to strike Iran if given the order. A U.S.-flagged cargo ship in the Persian Gulf fired warning shots after two unidentified boats approached it.

24 April 2008, The Ocean Hour

On 22 April 2008 I hosted one hour out of a 24-hour long Earth Day webcastathon. My program was about ocean conservation and I was joined by two fellow ocean enthusiasts and science bloggers. First is Dr. Karen James, director of science for the The HMS Beagle Project. The Beagle Project is an international effort to celebrate Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday by building a sailing replica of his ship and then retracing the 1831-1836 Voyage of the Beagle with an international crew of researchers, aspiring scientists and science communicators. Also joining me was Rick MacPherson, Director of Conservation Programs with the Coral Reef Alliance (CORAL) and author of the Malaria, Bedbugs, Sea Lice and Sunsets. CORAL is a member-supported, non-profit organization, dedicated to protecting the health of coral reefs by integrating ecosystem management, sustainable tourism, and community partnerships.

Tune of Fish

Rounding out the program was a musical contribution from Kevin Zelnio. Kevin could not make it live for the program, but he had a very good excuse.

Why own your boat outright and pay for all the dock/mooring/maintenance costs yourself when you only use it for a few weeks a year? The number of weeks that most boats are used during a year is even less than for vacation homes. With fractional ownership you can share the cost without reducing the amount of time that you spend on the water.
