Using A Tarpaulin To Cover A Boat
If you've got a boat, you know how precious an investment it is. It's not just an everyday investment like your car, although those are important too. A boat provides your freedom on the water so that you and your family and friends can have fun and recreation during balmy summer months, or in tropical climates. Of course, you need maximum protection for this most precious investment, and this is where a heavy-duty tarpaulin can provide you just the protection you need for your boat.

It is very rare to find the right size and shape cover just sitting on the shelf. the advantage to shopping on line is that it is usually quick and often easy to do, so long as you have a credit card and are willing to use it online. getting help from sales people on the other hand is not quite as easy.

New World Record - 107.9 Miles in 24 Hours by Human Powered Boat
Calgary, Alberta (PRWEB) July 3, 2007 -- Canadian Greg Kolodziejzyk set a new world record by pedaling his human powered pedal boat 107.9 miles in 24 hours.
"It feels great to break the world 24-hour pedal boat record," says an exhausted Greg Kolodziejzyk. "I have to admit that I was very impressed with the number of Calgary schools who, after hearing my KidPower presentations aimed to raise awareness about the childhood obesity epidemic showed up to support me and cheer me on during my pedal boat record attempt. It is very encouraging to know that our message of combining active living and healthy eating with achieving one's dreams and goals is getting through. However, right now, I am going to rest, recoup and then re-focus on my Trans Atlantic crossing and my continued quest to influence kids to live a healthier lifestyle."
Kolodziejzyk surpassed the record set in 2000 of 168.43 kilometers or 105 miles by Ironman World Champion and US cycling hall of fame member John Howard. The new record is 107.9 miles (173.76 kilometers) that was closely monitored by officials from the International Human Powered Vehicle Association who oversaw the entire process.
This marks the second major world record for Kolodziejzyk in less than a year. In August 2006, Kolodziejzyk broke the human powered world distance record by cycling 650 miles in 24 hours.
"My next challenge will be my most daunting," admits Kolodziejzyk. "Cycling 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean in my human powered boat is a challenge that I am really excited about."
Before that can happen Kolodziejzyk has a lot of work ahead that includes testing "WiTHiN", his prototype boat that he will use to navigate the Atlantic and finding the right corporate sponsors.
"We are currently looking for like-minded organizations who value Greg's work with KidPower and his message of combining active living and healthy eating with achieving personal goals," says Carol Marie Short, North American Corporate Sponsor Liaison for pedaltheocean.com
