Yacht Captian Lord Jim" Rebuilding a part of History

Lord Jim" Rebuilding a part of History

As a yacht Captain, returning home to Australia from the Mediterranean, Caribbean and the USA for the past seven years, I quickly found work at Brisbane Ship Yard refitting a large sloop.

I was approached by a young English Captain of a British Flag yacht called "Lord Jim", who was leaving after three years, He joined as an unpaid deck hand and ended up being the only one left on board after crossing the Pacific.

The vessel was at a marina Marina in the Whitsundays, Queensland. It wanted an available Yacht Captain take it to Thailand via The Great Barrier Reef and Cape York. The brochure looked great, as they always do.

It was an old steel hull ketch with aluminum super structure, riveted together, and built in the UK by Camper & Nicholson in 1977.

A CV was submitted and forgotten about but then I received a call from the owner who consequently was a psychologist in the motivational business .Of course I was very quickly convinced and took the job.

Going North north for two days I arrived at the boat and saw it was a mess and I had a sinking feeling that i had been conned.

As It turned out every thing about the boat was expired from the cruise permit to the ships regulation. Even the safety equipment was way past its used by date and sad to say needing to be replaced. This was very upsetting because I wanted to go.

The captain of the ship quickly left unfortunately for him the owners were disputing his return ticket home.

Being the relief captain Phuket I desperately started the rebuild paying bills using my own money to progress, the promised boat money and credit card never arrived.

About 19 month later I arrived at the Yacht Haven Marina in Phuket. I even continued restoring the vessel to her former glory with all systems up and running within a limited budget.

Refitting this boat has bought great happiness to me and I am Proud of my efforts.

Bass Fishing Beginnings-get started in bass fishing...

Bass Fishing Beginnings

Author: Bryan Jakes

You need some basic gear to get started fishing. Fishing is a sport that can be enjoyable no matter how much you spend as long as you have your basic needs.

$50 will get you a pretty good tackle kit so you can try out fishing and see if you like it. Another option is to rent your gear then you won't be out a lot of money if you do decide fishing is not for you.

In order to fish in public laes, rivers, and streams, in most states you need a fishing license. Children under 16 are not required to purchase one but do check with your local laws. Some sport fishing requires extra tags and children are not exempt.

The fishing license fees are used for stocking fish, and maintaining recreational areas. Some states will designate one or two days a year that are called no fishing license days. This is a good time to try out the fishing sport to see if you like it before purchasing a full years license.

Game wardens regularly check for fishing licenses. The citation can be expensive, and if they choose, they can confiscate all of your fishing tackle if you don't have one. Make sure you purchase a license for fishing in the required areas and keep it visible at all times.

The type of fishing gear you need, even though it is pretty basic will depend on what kind of fish you're trying to catch. Trout fishing is pretty popular so let's start with that one first.

You need a reel, a rod, line, hooks, weights, bait, and some kind of tackle box. Don't spend a fortune, but spend enough to buy equipment that will work well and last for at least as long as you're able to see whether you like it or not.

Another option besides buying all of your fishing gear is to rent it from a bait and tackle shop. If you're not sure whether you will even like fishing, renting might be a better way to go. This will help you decide before you lay out cash for any expensive equipment.

Tackle shops that rent fishing equipment can help you figure out which is the best equipment for your needs after you let them know what kind of fish you are going to catch.

For a decent quality rod and reel on a low budget the rod and reel combo may be the best choice and most large companies bundle them for sale as a combo package for beginners.

Before you buy anything check out the fishing tackle at The Daiwa Shop. Check out the great selection of daiwa fishing reels

Stroller
Yes you need a stroller. Make it multi-functional--Fold the wheels into the base and it becomes a rear-facing car seat for infants or a front-facing car seat for older kids. Use it as a booster seat at a restaurant or kitchen table and on the airplane. And while not all flight attendants are aware, this device is FAA (United States Federal Aviation Administration) approved. But there is one drawback to convenience and no more rental fees, every parent you meet will want to know all about this piece of your travel gear. You will always have your own stroller...

Spring Break, Summer Fling, Where the Kids Go...

Spring Break Adventures

Spring break in Mexico- like most college students, you may want to spend you spring break vacationing in Mexico.

Mexico is a popular vacation destination among college students is because it is close to the USA, inexpensive to travel there, and because of the legal drinking age. Unlike in the United States, the legal drinking age is only eighteen in Mexico and many times the Latins will not check ID of foreign students if they look old enough . Because of the law and customs, college students are able to drink alcohol on their spring break and do all the activities they enjoy.

News Stories

As of October 31st, 2007 a valid passport IS REQUIRED by all U.S. citizens of all ages returning BY AIR from any international destination. Grace period has ended! DO YOU HAVE YOUR PASSPORT?

If you do not already have your passport you need to get in gear and get one if you are planning to travel outside the U.S. for Spring Break. Last year there was a temorary accomidation period, but it ended on October 31st. 2007. Now in 2008 is the time to get your US Passport

The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative requires all U.S. citizens, Canadian citizens, citizens of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda, and Mexican citizens, to have a passport or other designated secure document to enter or re-enter the United States.

To obtain a passport for the first time, you need to go in person to one of 7,000 passport acceptance facilities located throughout the United States with two photographs of yourself, proof of U.S. citizenship, and a valid form of photo identification such as a driver’s license.

Acceptance facilities include many Federal, state and probate courts, post offices, some public libraries and a number of county and municipal offices. If you wait until the last minute, there are also 13 regional passport agencies, and 1 Gateway City Agency, which serve customers who are traveling within 2 weeks (14 days), or who need foreign visas for travel. Appointments are required in such cases.

You’ll need to apply in person if you are applying for a U.S. passport for the first time: if your expired U.S. passport is not in your possession; if your previous U.S. passport has expired and was issued more than 15 years ago; if your previous U.S. passport was issued when you were under age 16; or if your currently valid U.S. passport has been lost or stolen.

Since August of 2007, the U.S. has been issuing only e-Passports. According to the State Department , "Passports without chips will still be valid for the full extent of their validity period."

The New e-Passport

It took four years of study by the State Department to finalize the design of a new e-Passport with an embedded RF tag in the back cover. The chip will securely store the same data visually displayed on the photo page of the passport, and will additionally include a digital photograph. The inclusion of the digital photograph will enable biometric comparison, through the use of facial recognition technology at international borders.

Over the next 12 months, it is estimated 15 million U.S. citizens will be issued passports containing the RFID chip. As current passports begin to expire, the newly issued replacements will also include the RF tag, so within 10 years, all U.S. passports will incorporate an RFID.
