The winning foursome begins final day of play at Harmony Golf Preserve

While the Laughing Pirates deodorizer is known to freshen many on-board heads, boat lockers, and similar locations in RV’s, it also has application for many sporting related activities. Actually, any activity where Pirates sweat, don’t rinse, and repeat.   To help communicate that idea to the golf community, a special invitational event was held in the Orlando area on the Monday and Tuesday following the Miami boat show.  Laughing Pirates can be a welcome, freshening Talisman to a golf bag, it can be well hung in the Club locker to keep things smelling fresh.  It has NOT been proven to repel GATORS as shown below.   So unless you want to end up like fictional Captain Hook, we do not recommend attempting to retrieve balls from any water hazards in Florida.

Unless you can always stay at JW Marriott properties you can’t always count on your room smelling fresh and appealing when you check in late and tired.  But you can bring the purifying and familiar smells of your favorite Laughing Pirates with you on the road to quickly solve those odor issues.  This is really needed when you can’t open the sealed windows and you’re too lazy to repack and attempt to change rooms (which may not be any better). In these cases simply remove the pirate from his plexi-prison and swing him freely by his noose in a circle-8 pattern, walking through the affected areas quickly  clearing stale odors and adding its own fresh scent.  Put one in your airline carry-on for when your stuck near the lavatory row or a seat mate who rushes on at the last minute hot, sweaty and smelly.

This year’s Miami Boat and Strictly Sail Shows offered some interesting model updates including the Bertam 35, based on the classic Bertram 31.  It takes the clean lines and design and expands and updates it for today’s customers.   There are also some new powerboat boarding options including a sliding bulwark that allows easy access amidships.  It includes a retracting ladder.  Shown below is a 63′ catamaran with its own below decks drop-down access hatch.

I liked Fish Monkey’s line of fish handling gloves, some of which can be had for less than $10, and can help make a messy job a bit cleaner and easier.  And adding a Laughing Pirate Deodorizer to those lockers with your fishing equipment can also help.

In something completely new to me, I talked with the folks behind an idea to bring Uber and Lyft type transport convenience to the on-water community.  Hobarides.com offers an app that let’s you hail a Captain to take you from point A to point B via the local waterways.  They started in Charleston, SC and are expanding as they find captains to sign up for the service. I can see this gaining traction in waterways where short distances separate long land-based travel distances, like across parts of the Chesapeake Bay.  Check out their website to apply.
