The Right Boat Trailer Can Protect Your Boat From Hazards
Owning a boat is just the beginning. In order to get your new boat from one location to another, you're going to need a boat trailer. In fact, boat trailers come in many different styles and weight capacities, so a little research in advance will help you make the right decision when it comes to deciding what kind of boat trailer you need.
How to Repair an Inflatable Boat
The owner can attempt small inflatable boat repair if factory-gluing instructions are followed closely. Rips and holes larger than one inch in the air chambers, or those within two inches of a seam, should be repaired with internal and external patches by a professional repair technician at a certified repair facility.
Environmental Boat Washing and Detailing
Some marine biologists feel that the concentration of dead marine growth on boats and in boat harbors can create hypoxic zones or a lack of oxygen. This causes a decline in the water quality and may at times cause adverse effects on living marine life such as salmon in the case of the State of Washington.

Boating is a water sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Cajun Mariners: The Race for Big Oil
by Woody Falgoux
(Stockard James, $26.95, Business History, 0-9792920-0-X)
"?a spicy bowl of Cajun gumbo?as colorful as a novel?
the reader inhabits the characters?a required business primer."
-Scott Naugle, Biloxi Sun Herald
"Filled with tales of Cajun ingenuity and wit, the book delights."
-New York Times Regional Newspapers
"A good reporter, Falgoux writes in an informal, attractive style."
-William Curran, St. Louis Post Dispatch
"Woody Falgoux is Cajun enough to keep food in his history (without omitting) the darker side of dealing with big oil and doing politics in Louisiana...enough sly Cajun stories to entertain anyone?"

About The Book
Cajun Mariners is a narrative history of the workboat industry that follows four French-speaking trailblazers as they buy and build boats in pursuit of the American dream. Beginning in the late 1930s, and racing against time and competition, the men export Cajun ingenuity from the Persian Gulf to the Arctic Circle. Lauded for his novelistic style, the author brings to life the colorful Cajuns behind the world's largest tugboat company--how the fleets were built and at what human cost.
