How To Experience Whale Watching With More Than Just Your Eyes

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

If you happen to be in Southern California, your gaze will undoubtedly wander towards the direction of the ocean. Past all of the human bodies catching some sun, while lounging on the beach, lives one of the most intriguing, majestic and massive animals that call the sea their home. The beauty and wonderment of these creatures can not be fully understood unless you witness it for yourself. Experiencing whales (or whale watching), for yourself, will not only be an adventure for the day. When you leave, you’re sure to take with you memories that will last a lifetime.

Imagine being able to be a part of one of the worlds most fascinating, underwater mammals, lives, if only for a day. When you’re this close to life under the surface, you might find it difficult to head back to shore. Many tours are given in places all over the world, but on most of these trips, you’re stuck up on top and are only able to see what’s going on when the whales decide to come up for air.

Some people dream of swimming right along side a whale, but no matter how trained you may be, accidents can still happen. Plus, many people believe that doing this is dangerous to both you and the whales. You may not be swimming freely alongside one of these majestic creatures, but when you’re below deck in the special area designed to see all sides of the world below, you might feel even closer to your dream.

A lot of tours have glass bottoms that allow you to see what’s going on right under your feet, but you can never be sure that you’re going to actually see what you want to see, swimming by. On this boat, you can see in every direction while being under the water. You can be sure, if you see them up top, you’re going to see them from below. It truly feels as if you’re a part of a totally different world.

You won’t just have the adventure of a lifetime, you’ll also get an education. The captain and the crew are there to teach, as well as lead the way into the great beyond and below. If and when the time ever comes where a dolphin or whale needs to be saved, these people are there to help.

Not only will you be able to see these amazing creatures closer than you may have ever thought possible, you’ll also be able to hear them. The voice of a whale, experienced up close and personal, is something that you are sure to never forget. Being able to see them below the water, doing what whales do, while listening to their songs, really can make you feel like you’re part of the family.

If you want to experience feeling the water on your skin, and happen to suffer from seasickness, there are nets around the boat that you are allowed to make yourself comfortable in. This is a perfect way to eliminate some of the dizziness that may happen from the motion of the boat, and you will be really close to the action above the water.

If you’re going to be traveling to Southern California, a whale watching trip could be just the thing to renew your spirit and your mind. Forget your land-legs for a while and experience what it might be like to live life under the waves above. Adventure is waiting, all you have to do is step on board.

Donald Smithe loves to write about whale watching in Southern California. These trips are great for people of all ages and is a great way to experience these amazing creatures up close and in their native habitat.

A glimpse of underwater sea at home.

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

Recently, it has been proved that some aquarium pets, such as angel fish and goldfish have better life in better conditions of aquariums. Important part of these conditions is the atmosphere being created for pets. Aquariums have two important elements that make up its ambience and the quality of water and cleanliness. For increasing the quality of atmosphere provided to your pets in aquariums, first thing you need is to understand the nature and type of fish, the habitat they come from and its types for your aquarium. Different aquariums offer different options; best of them is the one that suits your fish. Saltwater fishes require saltwater setup for your aquarium, while fresh water and tropical fishes require fresh water equipment and setup.

Like I said before, two main things will be discussed that increase the looks and health of your aquarium. To better enhanced visuals, aquarium posters and pictures that depict real life environment and the equipments like aquarium protein skimmer are essential. Better pictures look much presentable and appealing to the observers, while aquarium protein skimmer cleans away salt water and other particles. More details to follow.

Aquarium posters are a unique way to enhance the visual aspects of an aquarium by beautifying the aquarium walls. Fish posters which depict images of big and large sea creatures such as dolphins, whales and coral reefs give a real-life effect to the pet fish as well as the observers.

Protein skimmer on the other side adds air to the water by creating big bubbles. Bubbles perform their function by taking away the waste to the skimmer equipment and store them there. It also decreases the amount of algae growing in the water, eventually giving a true crystal clear water experience to you and your little pets.

Water pets, and especially tropical pets, need a lot of care and efforts to keep up good environment for them. Fish posters and aquarium Protein Skimmer are the two main measures that increase and improve the environment for fish. Visuals create a real life atmosphere and protein skimmers give clean and healthy water for healthy fish. By taking proper measures and keeping good visual and scenic walls of your aquarium with sparkling clean water, will not only keep the observers happy but also give a longer life expectancy to your fish.

Global Travel Experiences – How to swim with whale sharks

Friday, February 4th, 2011

You may or may not know about whale sharks. They are slow filter feeding sharks but much more gentle and kinder than the average sharks. Because they gorge on plankton and smaller marine wildlife they are considered safe. Although they are actually very large (some can grow up to twelve meters long) they pose no threat at all to humans and many love the idea of swimming with them. Photogenic, friendly and with a definite ‘wow’ factor they make great diving buddies! If you’re into global travel and want to try to see whale sharks for yourselves then here are some tips:-

Whale Sharks migrate every spring to the continental shelf of the central west coast of Australia. The Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia provides the whale shark with plenty of plankton and are often spotted here regularly at this time. Although there is also whale shark activity around the coast of South Africa, Yucaton, Mexico, Indonesia, Tofo Reef in Mozambique, Tanzania, Thailand, Maldives and the Red Sea. Whale sharks have an inquisitive nature so if you get your timings right there is a fair to good chance of seeing them.

Always remember safety is your priority. Never try to find these lovey creatures on your own, the best option by far is to research a good diving tour group in the country you are planning to visit. Ask around for reliable recommendations or do some research on trusted internet travel forums.

It’s definitely worth the hassle, despite their size, the whale shark does not pose significant danger to divers. They are gentle and docile creatures and sometimes allow swimmers to hitch a ride. They can be very playful and often a real joy to swim with. The only risk is the odd unintentional blow from the shark’s large tail fin.

Some people don’t like the idea of diving, if this is the case then you can also use snorkelling to see whale sharks. Dive or snorkelling tours will usually give you a couple of practice swims in shallow waters before taking you out. When heading out to the reefs you will normally be in groups of about 10-20 accompanied by experienced divers. The dive master will spot the whale sharks and tell you when to get into the water. This truly can be one of the most unforgettable experiences of your life.

Understanding Basic Boating Safety Principles

Friday, February 4th, 2011

In the warmer months especially, sailing is a wonderful pastime to get involved in; although for many this is an all year round activity. Boating can bring so many wonderful pleasures that it can be difficult to be sensible and consider the safety features involved each and every time. Sailing, as much fun as it can be, can quickly turn into anything but which is why safety is so important. These safety measures are not rocket science but perhaps they need to be highlighted so that the importance of boating safety is properly understood.

We have all heard about the importance of having a life jacket on hand whilst on the water and yet many of us may not even consider its importance when we all we see is a peaceful and consequently ideal day for sailing. The weather does not need to have turned for the worst for life jackets to become essential. The numbers of deaths that occur due to drowning are staggering, even in calm weather conditions. We may not be aware how quickly an adult can drown, despite being able to swim.

Legally it is not necessary to be wearing a life jacket but this ends up resulting in life jackets being left below deck in the corner and out of reach. Old-fashioned life jackets were somewhat bulky and uncomfortable yet there are many modern versions now available that are lightweight, fashionable and very comfortable to wear.

Although not all road safety rules can be applied to boating cautions, there is one particular one that should be reiterated more often and that is drinking whilst sailing. Although there is no law to state you cannot drink whilst sailing, a lot fewer fatalities would occur if people knew when to stop.

Communication is essential when it comes to boating safety. If no one knows where you have gone and there is not way for you to communicate where you are in the event of something happen, this could be fatal.

Before venturing out on the water by yourself, be sure to always inform someone of your plans. In case anything should happen or if the weather suddenly y takes a turn, that someone will know to keep a look out for you to make sure you return safely, and if not will be able to save precious time by looking for you in the right place.

Make sure you have an adequate marine radio on hand at all times. Mobile phones are not sufficient enough on water as aside from unreliable coverage, they are vulnerable to the effects of water damage. Having a marine radio means that you can communicate to others should anything happen. Being able to communicate should always be one of the first considerations before setting out to sail.

Above and beyond these safety guidelines, always keep yourself updated with any relevant boating news and information. Keeping yourself up to speed through a boating course is always good practice. By keep abreast of current sailing news you will be able o keep yourself and others safe whilst still being able to enjoy the pure pleasure that boating has to offer

Taking the boat on Lake Ontario this weekend? Don’t get caught without an Ontario boat license. Take time today to complete a boater exam, you can take the test online and have a pcoc today.

Marine Life in the Caribbean Sea

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

The Caribbean Sea is a body of water that is a part of the North Atlantic Ocean. Mexico and Central America are its main land barriers, but is also adjacent to the Greater Antilles. The Caribbean is one of the largest salt water seas. The sea is located directly on top of the Caribbean plate, thus earthquakes and volcanic activity are very common, as are tropical storms and hurricanes.

Marine life in the Caribbean is delicate, to say the least. The coral reefs located there make up about nine percent of the world’s coral reefs. A coral reef is an underwater structure made from calcium carbonate, secreted by tiny living animals called corals. Coral reefs provide ecosystem services to tourism, shoreline protection and fisheries. The actual structure of the reefs prevent erosion of the shoreline. The growth of a coral reef creates a diverse ecosystem of itself that is highly sensitive to environmental changes. Hurricanes cause a lot of damage when the winds drop large amounts of mud or sand on them. Even strong waves churned up by high winds can break up the reefs.

Sea Turtles are a common inhabitant of the Caribbean Sea. The Green Sea Turtle is most prevalent in the Caribbean area and is of great importance to both the ocean and the beaches. In the ocean the turtles eat the sea grass that grows from the bottom of the ocean. To remain healthy, the grass must be kept short. Healthy beds of sea grass are also important as breeding areas for other marine life such as fish and crustaceans. Sea Turtles lay their eggs in holes on the beaches, often near vegetation. Their eggs, whether they are hatched or unhatched provide nutrients for the beach vegetation. Even baby Sea Turtles who do not make it to the ocean provide nutrients for the plants. Healthy vegetation on the beach prevents erosion.

Dolphins are very bountiful in the Caribbean. They are closely related to the whale and porpoises and are said to be the smartest marine mammal in existence. They are playful, social animals who will often seek out human interaction. Those characteristics alone threaten their lives, as there are many countries in the world that still slaughter Dolphins for profit. They contribute to the tourism industry through tours and swimming sessions. Any Barbados Resort can arrange a swim with Dolphins, and many people claim it is a once in a lifetime ‘must’.

The Swordfish is a highly migratory, predatory, but elusive fish. Many sports fishers arrange tours with Atlantis Paradise Island resort for the sole purpose of catch-and-release of a swordfish. They are very large, with males growing up to 300 pounds. They are, of course, named for their sharp beak resembling a sword, which with its streamlined physique allows it to swim through the water at a very high rate of speed. Although they are not listed as an endangered species, the United States Natural Resources Defense Council conducted a marketing campaign to promote the belief that the species was in danger. To date, the swordfish stock in the North Atlantic (including the Caribbean) is fully stocked.

The Barracuda is a fish renowned for its large size and fearsome appearance. They have a distinct under-bite and pointed head, making them easy to spot. They are voracious and opportunistic predators, prone to taking their prey by surprise. The barracuda is a solitary species, only really congregating with their own kind when they are young. Many natives of the Caribbean consume barracuda, and La Romana resort often serves barracuda steaks or fillets on their menu.

The Atlantic Blue Marlin is the largest species of marlin, reaching up to 20 feet and weighing 1800 pounds. They are a popular sporting fish, but are almost always released after unhooking. They are incredibly fast swimmers, reaching speeds of 110 kilometers per hour, hence the pleasing challenge to sports fishers. Greenpeace International declared in 2010 that the Striped Marlin, White Marlin, Atlantic Blue Marlin and Black Marlin as having a very high risk of being sourced from unsustainable fisheries.

These are but a few of the incredible creatures residing in the Caribbean Sea. The sea is a delicate balance of rare life that eco-tourism could help protect. The first step is in awareness, the next in conservation. Ask the staff at your resort or hotel how they are contributing to the protection of the Caribbean eco-system,.

Ash Scatterings and Cultural Beliefs

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

For the last several thousand years, cremation, as well as the scattering of ashes at sea, has been embraced by many cultures throughout the world, specifically throughout the Pacific Islands such as Hawaii. Both cremation and traditional burial have gone through periods of preference throughout history; however, in recent times cremation has proved a more desirable alternative for honoring the deceased.

Early religions in support of cremation were those of Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism and Buddhism, all East Indian religions. All four of these religions, believe that the body is an instrument used to house the soul. Hindu philosophy states that the body is a compilation of five natural elements: agni, jala, vayu, prithvi, and akasha. In other words; fire, water, air, earth, and space. When one of these elements dies, fire in the form of cremation, completes the fifth element.

Hawaiians believe that fire is also a key element for remembering the deceased. The islands’ inhabitants, knowing the Hawaiian islands were formed from the combination of fire and water, believe that this is a metaphoric cycle of life that must be carried on into the memories of those lost. By scattering the ashes of their loved ones at sea, we are all reminded of life’s journeys.

During the early Church era, cremation was frowned upon throughout the Catholic faith; however, in modern day, is becoming far more accepted throughout all denominations of the Christian religion. The disapproval of cremation practices stemmed from several main factors. First of these being that the body is regarded by the church as an instrument to which sacraments were received, therefore sacramental in and of itself. Being that early cremation processes were regarded by the Church as pagan, they thought that the body should be regarded in a reverent manner. Finally, the Church thought that by burning the body’s remains it might prevent the resurrection of the soul. Although, these were the popular beliefs of the time, as the Protestant religion began to develop and become more prominent, the practice of cremation became a more suitable method for alternative burial.

Symbolic approaches such as ash scatterings are a memorable way to celebrate the life of the deceased, opposed to a more traditional burial. By choosing this method , friends and family can celebrate a loved one’s life by participating in a ceremony that helps to bring closure and healing. As time progresses, despite cultural differences, ash scatterings will continue to be a wonderful means of remembrance for those members that have passed on.

In the United Kingdom, there is no mandatory requirement for people to have any type of qualification to take a leisure craft to sea for private use. If the owner insures the craft then there may be restrictions that arise in the ’small print’ and indeed, the premiums that are paid may be higher but in reality its the owner’s responsibility. Fortunately many boat owners wish to take care of their prized possession and the crew/passengers onboard and many will take marine training courses. However, it is not uncommon to hear and read of incidents where risks have been taken and where people have been foolhardy.

There is, for example, the recently reported story of a man who purchased a motor cruiser online and then decided to take it back by water from the Medway to the Solent. In principle, not a difficult trip but this particular person was relying on only a road map and became confused by the Isle Of Sheppey. Thinking that the North Kent Mainland was indeed France, they started to circumnavigate Sheppey thinking that they were rounding Southeast England and heading back towards the Solent. Plans were poor and they soon ran out of fuel. Upon rescue, it was soon apparent that they were completely under qualified to handle the said vessel and the journey. However, they could not be stopped and rumour has it that the journey was continued later and on account of no further news, we are to assume that it was uneventful.

When on a family holiday some many years ago, we were engaged by a couple whilst waiting in Studland to cross the Channel. Having made it clear that they had not crossed before we were happy to remain in contact for the following crossing. They surprisingly slotted into our course and remained astern for the whole trip. We had a very quick crossing and decided to continue beyond Alderney to Guernsey. Once moored up, they were quick to comment upon looking forward to sailing down to Guernsey later! Clearly they had followed our passage and made no attempt to make their own passage.

There are of course many examples of the opposite whereby some of our more well known yachting and boating celebrities have travelled far and wide with little or no formal training. However, these are in the minority and in reality, if you are lucky enough, experience can be just as useful as formal training. For the vast majority of us, such experiences are not possible.

There are many places which offer a wide variety of training . In the United Kingdom the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) is the formal body which oversees Sailing and Boating schools and their courses.

With the New Year comes a new idea and in this regard the RYA (Royal Yachting Association) will be launching a new training course. This is an online entry level course called ‘Essential Navigation and Seamanship’. This would be a good course for anybody who is thinking of getting afloat or perhaps somebody who has had a go already and now feels the need to get some proper training.

Anglia Sea Ventures are authorised to distribute and support this course within the local East Anglia region. Roger Gross from Anglia Sea Ventures has said that the course will be very popular to sailors, motor boaters, divers and anglers alike. A fun and interactive way of learning a full range of essential skills to get people started on the water, with an easy and flexible approach enabling learning where and when it suits!

Subject areas include-

Charts,publications and terms. Navigation. Anchoring. Electronic navigation. Weather forecasts. Passage planning. Buoyage. Safety. Tides. Rules of the road. Pilotage.

Online assistance from an instructor will be available.

Perhaps the more experienced amongst the boating fraternity may also benefit from a refresher Sailing School Course. The January start date and online nature may prove to be ideal. With a wide breadth of knowledge and experience, Anglia Sea Ventures are proud to be supporting this new course and can only reiterate the importance of training.

Anglia Sea Ventures are like many of their kind and have been providing these type of training programs for many years.

There is a full range of courses available at this Sailing School. RYA Sail and Powerboat training courses, day sail, gift experiences, yacht charter and yacht racing. Check out the Sailing School website at www.angliaseaventures.com Tel: 01473 210473.

Adventure days comprising powerboat & sailing days, mini cruises and extended cruises. If you are looking for that slightly different gift then Anglia Sea Ventures have a selection of Sailing School Gifts to suit. For racers, plans are already in place to do the J.P Morgan Asset Management Round The Island Race in June 2011. You can not only crew in the race itself but also enjoy the inevitable social scene afterwards. Details on line the Anglia Sea Ventures website.

For the more experienced, Anglia Sea Ventures are starting a new course for those that want to use their Cruising Chutes or Gennakers more. Helping people unravel the mystique and skills associated with these sails and endeavouring to give skippers and crew more confidence in their handling. How many times have you dusted off these sails?

Thinking of taking a new boat, or perhaps something different and larger perhaps, or maybe you just fancy a change! Then may be a charter might be good. Anglia Sea Ventures have various bareboat, skippered and corporate charter packages for you to consider.

The East coast of England offers fantastic sailing grounds. Above average temperatures and below average rainfall combine with excellent sailing, fantastic scenery and great company. All this to ensure you will have a great holiday to remember.

Our Worst And Best Boating Moments

Saturday, December 18th, 2010

When we are on our boat, just being on our boat, is one of those very few places in this increasingly crazy world where we can truly find absolute peace and contentment. Well that is, most of the time anyway! It is probably something to do with a sense of detachment and merely just getting away from it all.

This watery pastime has provided us with both the best and worst moments of our lives. The best, well , that’s really hard to choose. There have been loads but the one that always seems to spring to mind is quite unusual. Many years ago, cruising five miles off the Suffolk Coast in thick fog , only making about 4 knots due to weather conditions, the sun suddenly broke through the gloom appearing to create a halo of light around our boat, Sahira. For a time she was bathed in an eerie golden glow while the rest of the world was completely obscured by the fog. It was as though nothing else existed. We are not usually woolly headed but it was, we agreed, a truly spiritual experience.

As for the worst experience, quite a few rough sea moments come to mind but for me the most scary was on a trip from Smir in Morocco to Gibraltar, once again in thick fog! There had been a few reports of piracy incidents in the area, with yotties robbed, nothing terribly serious and no one hurt. Nothing like the Somalian problems recently reported. Anyway, we were trying to get back to Gibraltar inorder to beat a forecasted storm in the Straits and once again we were doing about 4-5 knots because of the conditions. A ‘blob’ suddenly appeared on the radar about mile behind. Despite three course changes it continued to follow, closing slightly to mile. We were of course unarmed and reluctant to increase speed because we were approaching the busy Straits of Gibraltar. However the blob suddenly turned away and disappeared into, what looked on the chart like a deserted area of the Moroccan coast. We don’t know to this day what was behind this but it wasn’t the Moroccan Coastguard because when we left Smir their boats were locked up, covered with tarpaulins and deserted. Fishermen would have no reason to follow us. There had been much people and drug traffiking between Europe and Africa so we feel that it was connected with that. Anyway, it was very scary.

Has anyone else got best and worse moments?

Port Ghalib Determined To Boost Southern Red Sea Tourism

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

Port Ghalib is only 10 minutes away from Marsa Alam airport and it is a resort with huge ambitions. Found on the Red Sea in Southern Egypt, the master plan is build a world class integrated resort community. The centre piece will be the harbour that will be capable of handling more than 1,000 vessels.

It is also well known to scuba divers who fly here to catch their liveaboards that depart from Port Ghalib. The unspoilt reefs will offer you some fantastic scuba diving up and down the coast with the celebrated Elphinestone Reef to the south being a very popular scuba diving site.

It is also making its mark in the entertainment world. In 2009, Beyonce played here as part of her “I am…” tour. It was the 1st time the superstar had performed in Egypt or the Middle East and her appearance was very successful. Getting world stars like Beyonce underlines the ambition of Port Ghalib to make their name known around the world. All the same, it’s improbable that stars like Beyonce are going to be there every week although there are still other activities for visitors to do if they prefer a touch of adventure to soaking in the sunshine.

Mentioned previously, Port Ghalib is a departure point for several of the southern Red Sea liveaboard cruises. Day boats also work from there. There are quite a few excellent dive sites along the coastline from Marsa Alam and unlike the more well known resorts of Hurghada and Sharm, there are not many dive boats in the area thus typically your party will be the only people at the dive site. Abu Dabab is a well liked shore dive destination towards the south. Folks come in to observe the turtles feeding on the sea grass and if they are fortunate, the resident Dugong will also turn up. Abu Dabab is reasonably shallow consequently snorkellers can also come along too.

For non-divers, a variety of aquatic sports can be found or you’re able to only spend the days sun bathing. Trips are also available to Luxor, Cairo, the age-old town of El Quseir or even a camel trading market.

One of the fastest expanding places in the South of Egypt is Port Ghalib which is build around the excellent harbour.

Some Things To Consider When Checking Boats 4 Sale In The Classifieds.

Monday, December 13th, 2010

So many people have an attention span that is easily held by the idea of enjoying some type of water craft. Since this is so true, the average consumer needs to keep certain things in mind while he or she is searching the classifieds in the boats for sale. There are three common size frames that crafts come in, and there are other things to consider also.

The first type of craft that is important to mention is the smallest level of craft. These are typically used for fishing on lakes because they only hold the operator, and maybe a few other people at the most. Some of these crafts have powerful motors and can go very fast because of their small size. Just because they are small does not mean that they will always be the cheapest option.

The second type of craft that the consumer needs to consider is the size of craft that lies somewhere between the smallest and the largest sizes. Some consumers refer to these vessels as mid sized vessels because of this. These vessels are similar to the smaller ones, but they can hold more people, and sometimes feature roomy compartments below deck level.

The third and final type of water craft that is commonly sold is the largest type. These machines are typically called yachts, and they can range in size from slightly larger than a mid sized unit, to the size of a portable house. These crafts are the most expensive ones, but they have plenty of rooms and spaces above, and below the deck. They might be able to hold entire gatherings of people at a time.

The marketplace for used water vessels is not very different from the marketplace for used cars. This is because many models are sold used at really effective savings. If shopping for used products is done correctly, money will be saved on a device that is just as nice as a new one. All three sizes of water craft are commonly sold on the used vessel market.

A lot of consumers prefer the idea of buying a craft that is brand spanking new. This has many advantages to offer the consumer that can afford such things. There are some new craft manufacturers that allow the buyer to utilize their websites for customizing a craft that holds their best interests. There are also large new craft dealerships, just like new car dealerships.

One of the most important things that a consumer needs to consider about boating, is to always remember safety. This is especially true if the family will be involved. It never hurts to give the entire swimming lessons, to be sure that they know how to swim properly. Even if the entire family can swim well, it is never a bad idea to fit everybody with life vests, especially the smaller children.

It is now hoped that the reader knows some of the more important things to consider while searching ads that feature boats 4 sale. There are many other less known considerations, that can easily be found through additional research. Like any buying decision, buying water crafts is going to come down to a mixture of family needs, as well as preferences.

There are plenty of boats for sale, but I bet you can’t find a used boats for sale list that is as good as ours.
