Motor Sports: From Curiosity to Passion
Being an homebody I had never given much thought to outdoor sports, especially motor sports. This all changed however when I met someone who introduced me to the world of motor sport and showed me just how much fun and competitive they could be. As someone who would still be considered green by most others' standards, my knowledge of racing something like a Sand Rail or Yamaha Rhino has dramatically increased in a short time. Once I was introduced to racing of all sorts I immediately began spending time with my new friend out at various races. I think it may have been this that helped me become familiar with things so quickly and I believe this also helped the sport make a much larger impression...

Cleaning Tips for Used Boats
It is amazing how quickly how boats can become so dirty. Here are a few tips to bring back that new boat look. Wash the outside with a mild detergent. Sometimes it's tempting to whip out the industrial cleaner, but believe me it will only cost you more time in the future. Strong cleaners remove the wax, leaving the finish vulnerable to dirt and the harmful rays of the sun. Marine stores sell detergents that are made especially for boat finishes. These do a good job of cleaning and won't remove so much of the wax. Some of these detergents may even contain wax for extra protection. Wax your boat. This doesn't have to be done each time you wash, but the more you wax the longer the finish will look new...

Why Build Your Own Dory
I was once asked the question of why one would put themselves through all the sweat and effort of building a dory when all they have to do is buy a small wooden boat that would suit their needs. At first I was offended a bit by the fact that someone would have the audacity to question the exercise of creating something out of a pile of wood. But after a while I came to understand that it was in fact, a legitimate question. I mean, why would someone do-it-yourself when the easy way is so....easy? Just go buy yourself a boat. Fact is, times have changed. People microwave hot dog buns because it takes too long to steam them. Most of us eat takeout more than we should simply because we don't have time...

Think I'm joking? go and try one, you will see what I mean...then after you have made a goose of yourself in the music shop, go down the road and buy a Jeff Lang Cd or Bob Brozman album...
Much Talk Less Show at the Pittsburgh Boat Show
Last week's much hyped event at Pittsburgh - the Pittsburgh Boat Show finally concluded and contrary to popular anticipations, it was not as big a hit as expected. Firstly, the show was devoid of its promised glamour, adventure and magnificence. The same expo by the same people was more happening and exciting last year. Even though they had the latest in what the marine industry had to offer, the boat show failed when it came to attracting vast crowds and doing a profitable trade. Most say it was because of their poor advertising campaigns and lack of awareness in nautical circles. Even boat clubs were poorly informed. However, even with the decreasing visitors, the overall sales of the exhibits...

The truth is that when the surf fish are running, they're almost ridiculously east to...
