'Bright Twist' on Boat Lettering and Night Safety

By William Agreste


New boat lettering technology combines proven light reflective technology with the time honored tradition of displaying a boat name on the transom of boats and ships. In daylight, reflective boat lettering looks like ordinary boat lettering with the exception there is a visible depth to the color and tone. At night, this lettering reflects your position on the waterway with even the smallest amount of light cast from an approaching boat. Under searchlight, you can see the reflective boat name lettering from miles away under clear conditions.

For maximum conspicuity, reflective boat lettering on the transom along with reflective registration numbers on the sides provides nearly 360 degree visibility. You can also add reflective boat graphics or reflective pin striping in widths up to 2 inches as a color accent to your boat. You can be very creative with reflective products beyond the simple addition of reflective boat lettering decals. There is a very wild example of being creative with reflective boat lettering with the addition of reflective boat graphics.

This recently refurbished pontoon boat takes on a new an extrodinary life with style and safety using reflective safety vinyl. You can visit your local vinyl fabricator or shop for reflective boat lettering online. There are several firms that specialize only in reflective products.

For additional night safety precautions, you might want to also check your boat now for the necessary night safety equipment. You should check your flares to make sure they have not become older than the expiration date on the packaging.

You should also check out the new �battery free� flashlights to insure you always have a source of light when and if your electrical system should fail. On my boat, I have two of these battery free flashlights - fore and aft. You simply shake these flashlights for 30 seconds and you�ll have 5 minutes of light and never worry about keeping your batteries replaced.

With the boating season only a few months away, now is the time to prepare for all those wonderful boating day and nights soon to be upon us boaters.

Happy Boating!

Specialization in the design of today's new inflatable boats is now in the forefront of the minds of the designers. Each distinct group is specifically designed for a different set of applications and is built and equipped with different components and equipment. Most new inflatable boats today fall within one these specific categories.


Freestyle jetskiing is done on stand-up jetskis, with the exception of a few other pwc including the Yamaha Waveblaster, but primarily on Yamaha Superjets as they are lighter and smaller than the Kawasaki SX-R. Jetski freestyle consists of many different tricks, including big air, hood tricks and technical tricks which, just like BMX and Motocross, are judged on the quality and skill shown in routines.

Hurricane DEAN - warning for the Caribbean

Fri, 17 Aug 2007 15:36:18 +0200
Hurricane Dean - a warning has been issued for the Caribbean and in particular to St Lucia and Martinique. Dean had been looking a little more ragged on satellite this morning due to some dry air intrusion, and a bit of westerly shear. However recent visible and enhanced IR satellite loops indicate Hurricane Dean's structure has improved, and may be starting the forecasted steady strengthening. In fact, the 5:00 a.m. advisory reported a minimum central pressure of 976 mb or 28.82 inches. This intermediate advisory reports a central pressure of 970 mb or 28.64 inches. This is considered a rapid drop in pressure (defined as a drop of 2.0 mb per hour). Max winds are still at 100 mph, and will take probably a couple of advisories to respond to any pressure drop. Dean is forecast to become a major hurricane in 36 hours, and is forecast between 72 and 96 hours to become a CATEGORY 4 HURRICANE with winds near 145 mph.
