The Joys of Boating

By Stefan Rockhaus


One of the most enjoyable things that you can do in this life is boating. It provides such a peaceful and serene atmosphere that you cannot help but be at peace during the hours you spend on a boat. Boating is something that is enjoyed by many people for many different reasons. One of these reasons is that it allows you to get away from the everyday grind that has become part of your life. When you are out on the sea or lake, it is just you, your boat, and the water. Nothing else matters at this point. Sure, you can equip your boat with many of the amenities of life today, but that does not take away from the fact that it is you and your boat.

Another reason that people enjoy boating is that it is an enjoyable hobby. It might not seem like it is that much of a hobby, but for some people, it becomes a way of life. There are those who enjoy this activity so much that they live on their boats, which are commonly known as house boats. This activity becomes appealing to a great number of people because of the fact there is a certain level of uncertainty in it. You must be on your toes and prepared for anything at any time. You can control what you are going to do, but when it comes to the water, you have no control, only reactions.

If you are going to become serious about boating, it is critical that you ensure the proper up keep of your boat. One of the most critical parts of this process is to wash down the exposed layers of your boat regularly. Although the equipment on a boat is made to withstand certain conditions, there are never any guarantees that water won�t get in to the wrong parts your boat. The proper maintenance on your boat and the main areas will allow your boat to lead a long and happy life at sea. Maintaining a boat that you know will be dependable is something that can provide much needed comfort in a world of uncomfortable seas.

Boating is something that should be enjoyed, but for every activity that is serious, there are responsibilities that must be met. You are the only one in charge of your boat and it falls on you to keep your boat in as good shape as possible.

Speedboats or powerboats are normally streamlined boats with very powerful engines in them. They range in size from the small Zapcats which were originally designed from surf rescue crafts in South Africa, and although they are only powered by a 50 horsepower engine they can go very fast reaching speeds of 50mph, as they are very light. They are relatively inexpensive and because they are inflatable they can be set up and packed away easily. Seadoo Sportsters are another attractively priced option at around �20000

Piracy Attempts On Cruising Yachts - Analysis of the 1st 9 months of 2007.

This analysis of reported attempted attacks on Yachts sailing the world has been carried out by Cruiserlog Moderators in order to evaluate the events/incidents from a cruisers point of view. It is not meant to be a criticism of the ICC International Maritime Bureau's Piracy Report Center's Q3 report for 2007. They receive reports from ships, boats and yachts and précis these for publication in their weekly piracy report which is then widely circulated. It is probable that the IMB is not able to check the veracity of the initial incident, therefore having to accept it at face value even though it may sound incomplete, inaccurate or even exaggerated.

To All Cruisers - Information On Cruising Expenses.

This is not "how much does it cost to cruise." This isn't "How much did you spend in Fiji?" This is, "what do you spend on a monthly or weekly basis in the various ports while cruising?" It doesn't have to be exact, and shouldn't be overblown, but this is intended to buttress the arguments of many destination-based businesses that cruising sailors are good for the local economy. This is a subject near and dear to my heart, because it isn't just Fiji who discounts the cruising sailor as a benefit to the economy, and it's the powerful resorts who get the ear of government in most economies dependent upon the tourist dollar.
