I love the boating song Knee Deep by Zac Brown. It seems to capture an attitude which is prevalent among boaters as soon as they shove off onto a body of water; a melting away of cares in favor of near bliss for a day or two or more. You know what I'm talking about? I know Zac Brown and...

With hurricane Irene coming up the Atlantic seaboard I thought it a good time to post a Block Island Times article about Storm Preparedness. View the link here: Storm Preparedness

One of the best thirst quenchers I know when lounging on a boat is beer. I rarely drink beer any other time of the year except for boating season. My wife is sick of it already and it's only early August. I'm searching for an alternative that is mildly alcoholic like beer, low in carbs and a...

Route 30-A along NW Florida coastline. Life Shines by Bryan Kennedy. Enjoy! :thumb:

The Fourth of July is almost here. I think it's the best boating holiday on the water, especially if there are fireworks in the area. I found an incredible, brilliant pyrotechnic video display of set to music which will get you in the mood and just in time. I call it simply: Independence Day...

There are a lot of articles about boating safety, safety on the water, safety devices and they're all relevant and important, but on a related subject drowning seems to be at the heart of the discussion. Drowning is the number two cause of accidental death in children, age 15 and under (just...

Fines may be increased in Rhode Island to discourage poachers of illegal striped bass.

One of the best times to be "on the hook" is in the morning when the sun is coming up, in the evening when the sun is going down and all the times in between! But, all things being equal, I think morning wins the prize for being the most peaceful time of the day. More... What's your favorite...
