I have been out of action for a while with injuries but feel nostalgic about kayaking and throwing a line out so thought it time for anothe plug for kayak fishing.

For all you guys out there it a great way to get away with the boys and have a few quality hours by yourself. Hey - the better half manages to slip away, right! So if you don’t have a shed - get one and rig up your dream machine. Its catch and release most of the time anyway!

Here are a couple more videos to keep you interested!!

Well maybe this is best avoided!

I have been to Kruger National Park and saw some amazing sites. A Hyena at 3 meters with nothing between it and me was something I will never forget!

This however is one of the most amazing pieces of footage ever ….

Its about time something like this came along. A new shipping concept to help reduce trucks on our highways by taking a ‘greener’ environmental approach. To quote the ship builders STX Canada;

‘The latest technologies will be applied in the design and equipment selection to ensure the ship achieves the least impact on the environment and will put the vessel at the forefront of a new generation of coastal marine transportation’.

When you consider the number of trucks running up and down the US Eastern seaboard this will help reduce congestion on the roads. Instead of trucks having to transport containers thousands of miles North-South rigs can be more fully employed servicing smaller regional areas.

Another huge plus…..a revolution in trucking really is the ability for one rig to now return/ re-locate up to 3 containers. This means the other 2 rigs that would have had to be used to re-locate an empty container can now be better utilized carrying a full load. Again a greener eco-friendly solution.

To quote from the Roadships site re its containers/trailers …. ‘Colapsable Trailer. Under Patent 783478 Roadships is developing the nestable trailer program which allows for 3 road transport trailers or containers to be compressed and travel as one unit’.

Here is the full press release;

Roadships Holdings Inc. Announces the Engagement of STX Marine

CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Roadships Holdings Inc., a USA company listed on Nasdaq (OTC Bulletin Board: RDSH), is today announcing the decision of its Board of Directors to engage STX Marine to update the design of its Roadships High Speed Monohull to be fuelled by Liquid Natural Gas.

An amendment to the Commercialisation Agreement contract between Roadships and STX was signed today giving effect to the change.

The announcement follows confirmation of STX Canada Marines parent company STX Europe earlier this month of its strong commitment to reduce the environmental impact of the marine ship industry.

STX Europe is an international shipbuilding group which has state-of-the-art concepts, technology, processes and products for customers around the world and comprises 15 shipyards in Finland, France, Norway, Romania, Brazil and Vietnam.

According to RDSH Chairman and CEO Michael Nugent ‘the partnership between Roadships and STX Canada Marine will provide collaborative benefits for both corporations. STX offers ‘Ecorizon’ the strategic environmental plan, based on STX Europe’s latest innovations and continuous R&D. The five point plan focuses on water, waste, energy, emissions and sustainability. Roadships brings to the table its business model to move road transport trailers via blue water highways reducing road congestion, diesel fuel emissions and increasing productivity efficiencies in intermodal door to door transport corridors.’

According to STX Canada Marine President David McMillan ‘STX Canada Marine is pleased to be involved in the design development and implementation of the new High Speed Monohull Ro-Ro vessel to Roadships America. The decision to move towards a clean design aligns with the Ecorizon(R) Green Lifecycle Focus approach of our parent company STX Europe. The latest technologies will be applied in the design and equipment selection to ensure the ship achieves the least impact on the environment and will put the vessel at the forefront of a new generation of coastal marine transportation.’

‘The latest partnership responds to developments where most countries are now devoting resources to reduce road congestion and increase road transport efficiencies,’ said Mr. Nugent. He pointed to the US bill which has been recently introduced to reduce congestion on America’s roads by encouraging more freight to be carried by barges and ships.

A gang of Australian graffiti artists have just been jailed in the UK. The response by Australians in the Telegraph, one of the Sydney papers pleasantly surprised me.

Here are some of the comments;

If our magistrates (Aust) had delt with them, cahrges would have been dismissed and costs awarded against the arresting police. I would like to see them before a Singapore Court. Jail and a flogging!

Well now you can try your ‘art’ in a shared cell.

Now this is a win-win scenario. The little pests are in jail and the Pommies - not us - are paying their keep.

So, after they finish their sentence in the UK, are they going to be deported to each and every other country they ‘tagged’ and serve sentences there? Please, oh please, let it be!

Good on the Brits for giving them what they deserve - jail time. Sydney’s being ruined by these gutter rats.

Sydney judges please take note.

I bet these little dirty rodents wouldn’t dare scribble their crap in Saudi Arabia.

Only one comment in support…. Why are people so against graffiti. It brightens the place up and has been around as long as people. To consider it vandalism is simplistic.

Well some fairly strong opinions there. To the last comment - I wonder if it were your house being ‘vandalized’ each night if your opinion would be the same!

Word Press themes have really moved ahead in the last couple of years, due in some part to what was spoken about in the last couple of entries - Social Media.

This being said, I hope those of you out there find the content here at Baby Boomer Lifestyle varied and informative. Having said that, when it comes to visual appeal - well you may have noticed I am letting the side down a bit and I have been searching for something with a crisper, clean look.

I am also planning on developing a few affiliate sites like these young whipper snappers out there online as an affiliate. So when I came across this mob at affiliatetheme.net I knew I was onto something.

Word Press can be a challenge behind the scenes so this package that includes help videos sold me as I can follow along and customize my new blogs to make them unique.
