The annual Lowcountry Splash open water swim event will take place in Charleston Harbor on Saturday, May 18, 2024, from 7:00 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. The 6-mile swim will start under the Wando River Bridge on Daniel Island, cross the Wando River near Hobcaw Yacht Club, and will finish at the Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina. The 2.4-mile swim will start at Hobcaw Yacht Club, continue along the Mount Pleasant side of the Wando River and finish at the Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina. A special local regulation, established in 33 CFR 100.704, Table 1, Item No. 4, will be in effect for a moving safety zone. This safety zone will encompass all waters surrounding event participants and safety vessels extending 50-yards in front and behind, and 100-yards on either side. No one shall enter, transit, moor, anchor, or remain within the safety zone unless specifically authorized by official event patrol. Mariners can anticipate the swimmers crossing the channel on the Wando River between 8:00 a.m. and 8:45 a.m. All mariners are urged to use caution while transiting the area and should coordinate with on-scene safety boats via VHF channels 16 or 68. When hailed or signaled by on-scene safety boats, all vessels in the immediate vicinity of these racing zones shall comply with directions given. Failure to do so may result in removal from the area, citation for failure to comply, or both. #maritimeassociationofsc #marinesafety #movingsafetyzone #lowcountrysplash

Pleased to see another SC7 expedition underway. This brief but poignant discussion touches on the fact that the electric infrastructure that we rely on today to run SC’s economy and households took many decades to build and based on the blessings of economic growth is projected to need to double in a couple of decades or less! Think about that and ask yourself how is SC going to do it? As these two leaders discuss - we must do it and with balance and leadership.

As far as I can tell, Murray Bridge News was the first outlet to report about new rules the Department for Infrastructure and Transport is proposing for boats and jet skis in South Australia. Like the no-wash zones debate of about 10 years ago, there are some proposals in here that are sure to ... provoke discussion, shall we say. 💳 A special licence for jet ski operators? 🚫 Bans on operating jet skis at night? ↔️ Minimum clearances and speed limits near shacks, bridges etc? Check out what's proposed, and find out how to have your say, in the story below.

Here are links to my Clipper Ventures // Clipper Round the World Yacht Race Blogs 10 & 11 for Marlow Ropes Ltd These blogs describe the epic North Pacific crossing in my circumnavigation, sailing from Zhuhai to Qingdao (Race 9) and then onward to Seattle (Race 10). With the Race finish in sight just over a month away now, key takeaways from my offshore race journey so far include: Preparation is paramount! After observing that smooth and efficient manoeuvres often rely on pre-preparation, ensuring that all their lines and jammers are readily accessible before the action starts is vital. This simple step not only prevents line damage but also minimises wear and tear on other critical equipment.

As a uniquely American-made industry with 95% of boats sold in the U.S. made in the U.S., our industry remains focused on innovation as a foundation for growth. Here is a clip from NMMA president Frank Hugelmeyer's interview with Fox Business at last week’s Discover Boating New York Boat Show, the world’s longest-running boat show. #AmericanMade #BoatingIndustry #ManufacturingLeadership #NYBoatShow Fox Business Network

SeaRock boats are designed to bring true innovation to the world of yachting. Competing on market prices alone is, in our view, both limiting and unworthy of our mission. Those who choose a SeaRock vessel seek something entirely unique in the global nautical landscape—individuals who value the unmatched innovation and advanced safety features our boats offer. After all, those with unlimited wealth may not concern themselves with price, but a true Gentleman, distinct from mere riches, does not flaunt. Instead, they discern and appreciate the unique and truly exclusive qualities that make an object worthy of its value. #SeaRockBoats #searockexplorerboats #explorerboats #exploreryacht #hdpeboat #boatbuilder #boatconstruction #yacht #performanceboats #sostenibilità #futuro #SeaRockXR7 #searockers #indestructible #unsinkable #recyclable #maintenance-free #centerconsole #fisherman #workboats #leisureboat #divingboat

One key point ...95% of boats on US water are made in the US and E-Force Marine will be made in Miami. 😎 What they missed is how electrification will drive sales of new customers concerned about owning an ICE (internal combustion engine) boat when they drive an electric vehicle along with almost no maintenance cost compared to ICE boat motors. #miamiboatshow #miamitech #miamistartups #electricboats #eboats #evessels #electricpropulsion #technology #EcoFriendly #GreenEnergy #sustainability #zeroemissions #marine #marineindustry #BatteryTechnology #SustainableDevelopment #electricmobility #charginginfrastructure #thefutureiselectric #electriccar #electricvehicles #electricvehicle #emobility #futureofmobility #EV #electric #electriccars #electricvehicle #emobility #futureofmobility #autonomousvehicles #startup #impactinvesting #VCS #VC #fundraising #seed #investors #founders #angelinvesting #venturecapital #Entrepreneurs #privateequity #familyoffices #yachtingventures
