Extending the Season : The Offical End of Summer Shouldn't End Your Boating Season. Here are Great Ideas for Cruising This Autu

Come Labor Day in most areas, the docks buzz with the annual debate: is the boating season over when the kids go back to school, or do we still have eight good weekends left? I subscribe to the latter theory.
Bridging The Gap : Sea Ray's 36 Sedan Bridge Will Satisfy Cruisers Looking for Space and Comfort

It wasn’t difficult to find the new Sea Ray 36 Sedan Bridge rising above her express styled siblings at New York’s Chelsea Piers for a MarineMax/Surfside 3 demonstration day.

You can’t use the SkyMate satellite system to surf the Internet. It can’t be used to watch TV. It’s not a satellite phone. However, using packet switching technology and message bursts that typically last less than one second, it can accomplish virtually every other communication task you might require, even where a satellite link or HF radio are the only ways to stay connected. Skymate’s communication trade-off decisions result in a system that is easy to install, is small enough to fit on almost any boat, is a miserly consumer of electrical power and is relatively inexpensive to buy and to use.
