Red sky at morning, sailors take warning. Red sky at night, sailors' delight. Red Sky at dawn? A stunning Swan. The ancient meme oft repeated by mariners is a rule-of-thumb weather forecast. Based on the reddish glow of the morning or evening sky caused by haze or clouds related to storms in the region, a red sky provides prediction for bad weather later in the day. Red Sky at Dawn: A

For nearly a century, the rugged coast and islands of Scotland were served by the handy little steam freight boats known as Puffers. They carried manufactured goods out to villages and farm produce back to the mainland.

His latest work, the Colnago 45 Pilot, is one of his most versatile yet. A lot of Luka’s boats are high-end, high-speed, pleasure and to

Like many fishermen, Justin Yager is interested in the responsible harvesting or marine resources. “We don’t need to be fishing the crabs right up into their molt stages,” he said recently. Similarly, he saw the common sense of rebuilding the Gulf Shrimper B.J. Thomas when the boat had a serious fire at Newport, Oregon. Built in 1976 at Marine Builders in Mobile, Alabama the boat found its way

Cruise ships come in all sizes from multi-thousands of passengers to a few dozen. But they divide into two general groups. The big mega ships with endless entertainment onboard and the more rugged small expedition cruisers capable of getting into the interesting nooks and crannies of a coast.
