Just a thought...

A question about Iceland we should consider, a film folks should see, and somewhere out there if he/she exists God cries...

One thing that often surprises me is the general lack of real innovation in and around things related to boats.

That said, I get press releases every day that use words like "NEW", "INNOVATIVE", and "ADVANCED" to describe things that are simply the same old same dusted off and re-hyped as something new... It's depressing!

What little real innovation I see is not coming from the marine industry at all but from actual folks on boats who come up with clever answers to real problems and issues they encounter sailing and cruising...

Sadly, the truly innovative folks are seldom interested in going into business selling stuff but are more than content to simply doddle through life making things that work better for their own needs and those around them.

We so need a maker revolution in the cruising community!

So it goes...
