You need to know where the fish are traveling and where they'll be when you want to find them...

The Naval career of Raphael Semmes is one of the most amazing stories of the American Civil War history. Born on September 27, 1809 in Maryland, Raphael Semmes began his Naval career as a midshipman in 1806. In June 1861, he commanded the USS Sumter and thus began his career as one of the most successful raiders of commerce in Naval history, putting a 6 million dollar dent in Federal shipping. In January 1862, Semmes sailed the USS Sumter to Gibraltar to for some much needed repairs but lost her to enemy warships. He was in command of the USS Sumter for only 6 months, but in that short time, he was responsible for the capture of 18 merchant ships. His tactic was to fly a neutral, or sometimes even...

To be the only yacht in sight from horizon to horizon, anchored off a pristine, deserted, tropical island beach, may seem like a distant dream to most sailors - but sailing in Phuket it is everyday reality. Unique, too, among cruising destinations is Phuket's climate. There is no winter; there are no hurricanes and no typhoons. Temperatures range between 25° and 32°C throughout the year, and the sea rarely varies from 28°C. Located in the Andaman Sea (off Thailand's southwest coast) Phuket is best known amongst regional sailors for the most advanced sailing infrastructure in Thailand. As a cruising base, Phuket is unbeatable. The mystical waters, islands and limestone karsts of Phang-nga...

No it's not a contradiction - active retirement is the wave of the future for today's retirees. Loathe to call themselves "seniors," today's 55+ crowd is more dynamic, healthy and involved than ever before. Looking for ways to fully embrace this new hard-earned stage of their lives, our elders are not being wheeled complacently into dimly lit retirement homes. Instead, finally free of the responsibilities of family and working life, this crowd demands a high quality lifestyle and a passionately active retirement. Drawn by the temperate sub tropical climate, lazy beaches and a range of innovative golfing communities, boating communities, and senior independent living communities that have sprung up...

Edinburgh is a beautiful city that has a lot of places to visit. It is a classic mix of the modern and the historical. It serves as the summit where the castles built ages ago are found amidst state of the art multiplexes and shopping malls. Its sprawling landscape is dotted with numerous tourist attractions. It is hard not to be awed by the sheer number of attractions to visit. On the bright side of things, these places are located close to each other. This means that you can visit them in a short span of time. Let us begin with Edinburgh castle. It is one of the oldest sites in the city. Camera Obscura and Royal Yacht Britannia are some of the best places to visit. The capital city is an extremely...

It's funny how people dismiss the notion of living aboard a powerboat, or any boat for that matter. The room you have aboard is quite nice even on a 36' powerboat. A sedan/convertible gives you different levels and areas to hang-out, making it not only feeling spacious, but home-like. Let's see how it is laid out for your comfort inside and out! Stepping aboard you will be in the aft cockpit area where you may have a BBQ and deck chairs, or a fighting chair (not with your wife or girlfriend) to go after those awesome fish! Other amenities may be found here which may include a wet-bar or entertainment center. From here you can go up forward and lounge on the foredeck reading or get a nice tan. Back...

Mallorca property prices in the South West are set to boom: There have been rumours for some time that there were plans to expand the Adriano Marina (and some did have inside knowledge that this was so) however, until now, nobody had been able to confirm the details as confirmation of the project had not been made publicly available. Starting in last Friday's edition of our trusty local paper, the Majorca Daily Bulletin, we at last have concrete details of the extension to Port Adriano, the Marina of El Toro - and the word is WOW! We had had varying reports on the size of the extension, but what has now been approved by both the Local Council and the Balearic Central Government will turn Port...

The history of Sydney Harbour stretches back 40,000 years or more. The area surrounding Port Jackson was home to many aboriginal tribes. Most evidence of early aboriginal settlement has been destroyed in the two hundred and twenty one years that Australia has been settled by Europeans but there are still hundreds of rock carvings in sandstone in several locations. If you want to have a look at some of these sites there are several aboriginal-themed Sydney Harbour cruises at your disposal. And they are staffed by Australian aboriginals. One could argue that the first Sydney Harbour Cruise occurred on 20th January, 1788 when Captain Arthur Phillip sailed three longboats from his flagship of the The...

Traveling can be one of the most glamorous and most adventure filled activities you can enjoy in life. Unfortunately, because of expensive costs that traveling entails, many individuals fail to take pleasure in their aspirations. On top of that, in this kind of economy, it seems like fewer individuals are even pondering about traveling because there is just no need for it. For some intrepid individuals, all hope is not gone. An airline job may appeal to you in the beginning, but you never really enjoy the advantage of time and it is very stressful and fast paced. The superyacht industry may just be the greatest job on the list for you. Why Should You Work on a Superyacht Working on a superyacht is a...

I am sure that almost everyone at sometime has questioned their path in life, and whether or not they have accomplished enough to be satisfied. Most of the time this is done by looking at the career path that one takes when they graduate high school or college and deciding whether or not this is what they want to do forever. The fact of the matter is that in society we are told that a life in a cubicle and eventually a corner office is a pretty good path to take. But one career path that is hardly ever mentioned let alone thought about is one out on the open sea. Sure most people hear that and say "I really don't want to join the Navy just to ride on a boat in the ocean." But what about a career on...

Everybody knows that the Olympic Games are due to be held in Athens in 2004. Apart from the accepted consequences, positive and negative, for the city of Athens and Greece in general this sporting extravaganza will seriously affect the yachting fraternity from mid-July to mid-September. Two major crises will afflict the greater Athens area i.e. transportation and accommodation. I will refer to certain aspects of transportation later but the accommodation problem will directly affect yachtsmen. How, you might ask ? I will tell you. The Greek government is trying many ways to obviate the shortage of about 40,000 rooms. Athenians are being asked to offer rooms to visitors in their own homes and 11...

Burial at sea - Ash Scattering - is an increasingly popular option for families when saying goodbye to loved ones. Not only is it an environmental friendly alternative to traditional burial and rich in nautical tradition, it is also a much less expensive alternative to traditional burial. It is often chosen when the loved one had a special connection to the water (boating, swimming, etc.) Services Services are varied and are usually conducted by the family, sometimes with the captain of the vessel saying a few words such as "Commitment to the Deep". Formal clergy is usually not present but may be present if desired by the family. The ceremony is conducted, music is often played and the ashes are...

Mention the word "Bahamas", and immediately you will think of a dream vacation or a paradise getaway lined with powdery-white beaches and crystal clear blue waters. You will also probably conjure up good thoughts about the Bahamanian people, what with their friendly smiles, warm, ready-to-please hospitality, and interesting culture. Even if you have never been there, you probably have heard a lot about this wonderful place in the Caribbean, just a few hours away by yacht from the harbors of Florida. The Bahamas is a 100,000-square mile archipelago consisting of some 700 islands that line up along more than 500 miles of crystal clear seawater (some say the clearest in the world). You have to see it...

But with the availability of underwater video camera, capturing every breathtaking moment and detail of your underwater feats has been made easier.

The sea and marlin fishing were the first incentives Hemingway had to travel to Cuba after his friend Joe Russell invited him to fish marlins in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where, it is said, Hemingway captured almost 20 specimens. From that moment on, marlin fishing became his life obsession. With his first yacht, named Anita, he began his first crossings north from Havana up to the surrounding areas of Levisa Key in Pinar del Rio. Already living in the Vigía Farmhouse, he used to drive his car dressed in his Cuban guayabera, his moccasin shoes and drinking his rum while heading north to Cojimar, a fishing town near Havana where his yacht Pilar was docked (the yacht can be seen today in the...

Many of you would-be boat owners may want to consider a fractional sailing program, sometimes called a boat club or time share boat. These programs offer many benefits over traditional boat ownership. In this article we will try to summarize a few: No equity in the boat - A frequent question for new fractional sailing program members is who owns the boat. Most established programs do not require members of the boat club to own an equity interest in the yacht. The big benefit here is pretty obvious: no equity, no liability. My dad always used to say it is not your assets, it is your liabilities. No maintenance - Sails, running rigging, standing rigging, refrigeration, propane, fuel, gel coat, oil and...

We often wish we could spend our time doing what really makes us cheerful but little follow through. If you love the water and want to be your own boss, there is a company that can offer you the opportunity to get involved with a life near the water, own exquisite boats and mingle many people who share your zeal. There are many sites online growing in favor and financially each year. If you are a social person, have the time it takes to start and operate a new business and have the seed capital for a fractional yachting venture. You will discover no need for a large office or the logistics of sailing. Marketing a product that you enjoy is the major objective. Catalina Yachts are one of the choices...

Whether the boat you are sailing is a yacht or a dinghy, it is always hard to get the sails trimmed perfectly. The rule of thumb is to let out the sail until it starts flapping and then pull it in a little bit. This would make the sail 80% efficient of its maximum efficiency. However to get the extra 20% efficiency you need to use the mainsail tell tales. And yes, for those who don't know, the mainsail does have tell tales. There are usually 3 or 4 on the mainsail of a dinghy or yacht. In order to get that extra 20% efficiency, to make the boat go faster and to make the sails 100% efficient (well 99.9% if your being picky - nothing is ever 100% perfect) you need to trim the mainsail using these tell...

Irrespective of how big or small is one's desire to own a vessel, designing the same to one's own taste would be of paramount importance.

The concept of a marina filled with boats and yachts was, well just that - a concept. It's only when I moved out that I discovered that, one of the joys of the developed world was DIY kits for everything - even a boat! Besides, there is also the option of constructing your own boat right from the beginning. The focal point of consideration in a power boat is the hull. The type of hull will dictate the kind of activities you can do in the boat. The reverse is also true; what you want to do with your power boat should guide your choice of hull - for example, you will hardly expect high speed from a trawler (heavy displacement hull). And if it is a high speed pleasure boat you're out to make for...

Have you recently purchased a yacht and are debating if it was a good investment? Buyers should believe this is a good investment due to the low property prices in the marinas and the steady increase of property worth. If you enjoy swimming and spending time in the sun, a boat would be a wonderful place to spend your time. It provides a relaxing atmosphere and not only can you go out and drive it for the afternoon, but you can stay on it for the rest of the week. Boats can be a very fun rewarding experience for you and your family. The great part about having a yacht, though, is the luxurious aspects. You can eat, sleep, drink, and live as if you were living on land if you own a yacht. Being more...

mans, being human, crave those nice moments in our lives, about every three hours, when we wish nothing more than to stretch our bodies out on something soft and “chill out”, “lay back,” “rest our bones”, and let the world go by while we lay motionless. Well, I dislike exposing anyone to bad news, but are you aware that’s impossible? It is not in our best interest to attempt to fool mother nature, for she doesn’t condone laziness. Therefore; to guarantee we are always in some type of transition, our oval orb rotates on it’s wobbly axis at the equator, at about 1,000 mph, and orbits our life-giving ball of fire at close to 17,000 mph. --- plus...

The dream of owning a luxury home, yacht, race horse or some other luxury item can become a reality with Shared (fractional) ownership. So What Is It? Shared or fractional ownership, not to be confused with timeshare, is where a number of people contribute funds to buy a leisure asset (e.g. house or yacht) and share the use of it. Crucially you also own a proportion of the asset, which is where it differs from timeshare. If the value of the asset increases then (in theory) the value of your share increases too. Contrast this with timeshare, where you only “own” the right to use the asset for the specified period of time each year. Example A group of people who are interested in buying a...

When you learn the names of the standing and running rigging on a yacht, you also need to understand the function that each fulfils. With this knowledge, you will be better able to make the right decision when part of the rigging is damaged and strain has to be transferred or removed without delay. Standing rigging The forestay prevents the mast falling backwards, determines the amount of permanent rake that is built into the rig and holds the luff of the headsails. The backstay prevents the mast falling forward, pulls the top of the mast backwards when under pressure, and tightens the forestay so that it does not sag to leeward under the weight of the headsail. The shrouds support the mast...

If you want to go and sail out on your own, you're going to need to know how to sail a sailboat, get some sort of accreditation as a skipper or sailor and buy your own boat. So first things first: where to go to learn how to sail. If your father is a fisherman, chances are good that he'd already have taught you. However, for those who haven't even seen the ocean up close, we have to try to locate a school for sailing. There are several sailing schools offering to take you on a sailing class, but choosing the right one may not be easy. The first thing you may have to consider is proximity - you will want to find a school that is close to home. To find a good school near your home, you could go the...

A quick Google search for help improving your credit will return a daunting amount of results. There are thousands of companies that specialize in helping people repair their credit record. However, the service is usually hyped up to be a lot more than it really is. All of your major credit activity (cards, loans, some utilities) is reflected in your credit reports from one, two, or all three of the three major credit reporting bureaus (Experion, Equifax, and TransUnion). Good or bad, any open and recently closed accounts will appear on your credit report. Of course, the better standing your accounts are, the higher your credit rating will be, and the easier it will be to buy that yacht you've had...
