This is all your fault
It has come to the Installer's attention, that according to the social media mavens, twitterati, and Youtubeologists, that the written word has become passe, and you can't possibly have a good blog on the Internet that just uses old fashion words, and pictures. Apparently, according to the experts, the world has changed, andthe attention span of the public has shrunk to 14o characters. Content must be literature light, with few words, and preferably small ones at that. Maybe they are right, and I am a little out of date, or a lot out of date. So in the spirit of being hip, and having almost the web capabilities of a 58 year old, I created a little boating related Xtrnormal video which is now posted on Youtube.
Here is the link to It is all your fault, you sunk the boat
So take that you mavens, and nattering nabobs of online content, "The Marine Installers Rant" is now sporting an online media format. Oh, and wait, is there a tweet coming in? Why yes. No doubt it is a 140 character message of great import, and here it is: "DRINK OVALTINE". Ralphie was disappointed too.
Actually I did spend the morning putting a Facebook page together for the blog, and as soon as I figure out to link to it, I will. The little cartoon was fun to make, and I will do it again, but unless I change my name to Ashton Kutcher, "No tweets for you". I love the printed word, and I'm not giving up on it.
C'est la vie

The disclaimer its not our fault
Warning!!! By pressing the enter key on this chart plotter you are acknowledging that this is merely an aid to navigation, and anything that happens to you by using this or our vendors product is absolutely all your fault. You are also agreeing to hold us harmless even if there errors and omissions in our product, if you hit something, get lost, or we just told to use obsolete information.
You know you just can't make this stuff up. This is taken from a new Navionic's chart showing the Stump Pass area on the west coast of Florida, along with some chart notes about the pass. I took the liberty of underlining the less than constructive advice the cartographers have offered the user. I suspect they will correct this quicker then sending an email to their website.
Remember, it is just an aid to navigation.
And a tip of the hat to Steve Stevens for spotting it.
