MS Tûranor PlanetSolar first completely solar powered ship to circumnavigate the world
The trip began in September 2010 when the MS Tûranor PlanetSolar left Monocco to sail around the world only using solar power. Nineteen months later she has crossed the Atlantic and Pacific, traversing both the Panama and Suez canals, and navigating the treachorous waters of the Gulf of Aden, to complete its journey.
Hurricane season and the Mariners 1-2-3 rule
From Paul Squire a Marine Surveyor
Today is the first official day of the Atlantic Basin Hurricane Season and we have already experienced 2 named tropical storms. Any marine surveyor in Florida is getting pretty busy as people are preparing their boats for what could possibly be an intense hurricane season. This may be a good time to review the Mariners 1-2-3 Rule. There some that are saying that we should even revise this rule to reflect the improvements in storm tracking predictions. This rule was established in in the 1970′s and uses weather prediction models from the 1990′s.
From a Marine Surveyor: Preparing your Boat for Hurricane Season
From Paul Squire a Marine Surveyor
We are now in week 2 of the Atlantic Basin Hurricane Season. Marine surveyors in South Florida know that being prepared and having a plan is much better then filing insurance claims after a storm. There are a few things you can do to prepare that will go a long way towards saving your vessel during a storm. A plan and a little work can also save you many headaches after the storm.
The first thing you will want to do is take an inventory of your boat. This will include all of the equipment stowed on the boat. It is recommended that you take a video inventory and keep it in a safe place.

"A customer is the most important visitor. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption of our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider to our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us the opportunity to do so. -- Mahatma Gandhi"
