Extractions: It wasn't exactly a new or original idea. Looking at it objectively, hundreds if not thousands must have dived the Seven Stones before me. Looking at it another way, I would estimate that more divers have been to St Kilda than to the Seven Stones, making it one of the more exclusive reefs of the British Isles. It caught my imagination as something different to the famous reefs of the south-west I had already dived. I had been kicking the idea around in the back of my mind for ages when, for some reason, it became a full-blown obsession last August. Not the most practical time of year to begin planning. If inspiration came to order, I would schedule diving obsessions to arrive conveniently before the start of the UK diving season, leaving plenty of time to plan everything and make the dive during the summer.

Extractions: Off Britain, weather and tides dictate the diving possibilities. The Met Office can give an indication of weather, though its forecasts cover large shipping areas. Tides are more predictable. Organised divers keep checking the weather forecasts and have a good understanding of tide tables. They might need to relate these to high water at Dover, for instance, and you can find that information in the daily paper.

Extractions: 2005-06-07 / New York Times / By Elisabeth Rosenthal Grand Canal in Venice, Italy is seen in this file photo./epa When Jane da Mosto scrambles from the water taxi onto the front steps of her family's ancient palazzo on the Grand Canal, her gaze is tinged with mourning. The once glorious Casa da Mosto is now little more than a decaying waterlogged shell of a building, the rising and increasingly salty water of Venice lapping at the door and eating away at its walls. "One day it will just fall into the canal," said da Mosto, a researcher with Corila, a consortium of groups studying the Venice lagoon in hopes of saving it. Now, a daring multi-billion dollar construction project sponsored by the Italian government is getting under way in an effort to meet that goal.

Flyfishing For Permit On The Flats As the fish moves toward the boat and the boat moves toward the fish, Again, tides are a factor in the spring, but not nearly so much as in the fall. http://www.floridasportsman.com/sportfish/pompano/FFS_9710_Top/index1.html
Extractions: Top Trophy on the Flats The right conditions, a good presentation, and teh right fly does the trick. When you make the strip strike, remember to keep the rodtip down right at the water's surface and pointed toward the fly. The sink rate of your crab fly is very important. Many anglers, when fishing for permit, have two rods rigged with flies of different weights and sink rates. They will use the slower sinking fly on shallow flats, and switch to a faster sinking fly on deeper flats. It's a strategy that can pay off. Traveling permit present an entirely different challenge to the angler. Your odds of hooking one of these fast-moving fish is much less than that of hooking a feeding fish, and casting to them requires a different tact than casting to feeding fish.
Extractions: THE BARROW, SUIR AND NORE The absence of detailed charts designed for the inland waterways boatman rather than the seagoing charts for shipping could be one contributory factor for the absence of craft on these most beautiful waterways. Charles Dunn has compiled the attached notes to assist anyone who wishes to visit The Three Sisters, but as with all navigation guides no liability is accepted for any error therein. SOUTH FROM ST MULLINS THE BARROW, SUIR AND NORE (see plan No.1) The most beautiful stretch of the Three Sisters is also the least travelled by any craft. Its a voyage of beauty, and exploration. Bring your maps, guides, compass and essentials and you will be well rewarded. Fresh water taps are only located at Graiguenamangh and at Waterford marinas; fill up before going south! South of St Mullins is tidal check your insurance policy as most inland policies exclude tidal waters. You also need to get a tide tables for the area, and practice predictions by watching the tides rising and falling. Note the lack of other craft means you need to be self sufficient on this stretch, as there is likely to be nobody else to tow you off any shoal. It would be wise to bring a dinghy, and check your engine before heading out. Some suggest a VHF radio is useful for communicating with Waterford Harbour and the shipping, but problems will not arise if you maintain continuous watch for the ships and give them plenty of space they have very restricted mobility in the shallow and fast flowing river.

Extractions: As tests are conducted by student volunteers, the information is recorded on a data sheet provided by the Great Bay Watch (NH) Water Quality Monitoring Program. Students then enter the data into the "Alice" software database using a Power Mac 5200. Data files are cross-checked by another student and the principal investigator prior to submission to the Wells (ME) Reserve. 3. Experimental design The Marshwood High School Water Monitoring Program was founded four years ago as a part of the Great Bay Watch Citizen's Water Quality Monitoring Program. Over 15 Great Bay Watch sites have been established in the Great Bay Estuary, and samples are collected from April through November. The objective of the Great Bay Watch is to establish a long-term database that will provide information about the state of the estuary and to increase knowledge and interest among its members and constituents about the importance of conserving it. The Marshwood High site is located on the Piscataqua River, and provides an opportunity for high school students to volunteer in a program with "real science" applications. 4. Research methods

A Trailer Boat Guide To Bluewater Fishing This major shipping port offers an excellent ramp at Stockton on the Best bet is to walk your boat out early on a low tide and come back in on a high. http://www.marinews.com/fishing/fishing/Fish General Articles/fga_bluewaterfishi
Extractions: Let's take a quick look at some of the options that bluewater fishing has to offer. Firstly, a lot of anglers who are not used to water, 'over their head' will prefer to drift over sand and gravel beds for species such as flathead, gurnard and flounder. Drifting for snapper, morwong and other reef species, can also produce good catches. However, there is a lot of hit and miss in this form of fishing and the next step is to use electronics such as depth sounders to locate reefs and other 'fish holding obstacles'. Once located, anchor upstream and fish over the spot with cut or live bait for kingies, mulloway, bag, etc. For those who enjoy the sporting side of fishing, lurecasting into schools of working fish, high and slow speed jigging as well as trolling will provide the angler with a variety of adrenalin-pumping action. So you can see there are many options to choose once we enter Neptunes realm, but before we charge out to sea, there are a few things we should think about.
Yachting World's Rolex Fastnet Training Diary: News Index It was really interesting to collate the various weather forecasts and tidal patterns On port tack, we had to put our westing in before the tide turned. http://www.yachtingworld.com/auto/newsdesk/20050606154135ywfastnet05.html
Extractions: The Fastnet Puma Logic team had a late night navigation briefing with skipper Philippe Falle. The RORC race was to lead us east round to Bembridge Ledge point, and then heading across the Channel past Casquets and onto Guernsey and to St Malo. It was really interesting to collate the various weather forecasts and tidal patterns, and by using the Expedition electronic chartplotting program, try to work out the shortest and best possible route. As Philippe said: "When we're doing any sort of offshore race, the biggest factors are tide and wind." We even had expert sailing meteorologist Chris Tibbs, giving us the final forecast low down the next morning - so Philippe was confident with our passage plan. Under gloomy skies, IRC Class 1 set off across the starting line in a south-westerly of 12-14 knots, gusting at 16. Hoisting the spinnaker right on the line we set a cracking pace, and it wasn't until I settled into the trim that I noticed most of the fleet behind us. It was a great start and a great sight to see a kaleidoscope of colourful kites in the Solent.
