SPACE AS AN OCEAN
We 'd like to thank all of our visitors who read the Space as an Ocean Series. While it concluded yesterday, it is still up on the blog postings for anyone who hasn't read it yet. But we have an easier way to read it start to finish. The entire series in chronological order of appearance is posted in the MARITIME LITERATURE SECTION. To the right of our sailing vessel image you'll see a list of special sections starting with INTRODUCTION. Scroll down and click on MARITIME LITERATURE. Once in MARITIME LITERATURE simply scroll down until you see images of a Caravel sailing ship under sail and a Space Shuttle on takeoff
and you are in our anthology of essays titled SPACE AS AN OCEAN. It will be there indefinitely as we work on it for eventual final publication. We may even have a new essay to add once in a while. So tell others, like the series on face book!

TODAY'S BLOG POSTING:
Today we examine crime on cruise ships and the misconceptions that the average American cruise ship customer has when they purchase that cruise.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW AND RECOMMENDED FOR THE SERIOUS SAILOR, NAVAL ARCHITECT, MARITIME HISTORIAN, AND BOAT BUILDER. ( We really like this book, obviously since we've left this up for a week and counting. If you have never tried it click on the book cover icon below the enlarged book cover illustration and go to the book's site. Amazon has a feature that lets you look inside many of their offerings and sample a few pages. You might as well learn to use this feature on some real sailorly eye candy but this book is far more than eye candy!)

NEWS BREAK: Swimming Dragon Causes Trouble For even Its Friends
North Korea has few friends in the world beside China. Yet China's seemingly insatiable apatite for the waters of its neighbors seem to know no bounds. Illegal Chinese fishing activity even invades the territorial waters of North Korea, causing problems not only with policing the illegal activity but running afoul of the on going border issues between the Koreas North and South. Recently a North Korean naval vessel crossed into South Korean waters setting of a brief confrontation with a South Korean naval vessel. The border crossing happened while the North Koreans were in hot pursuit of
illegal Chinese fishing vessels.

The National Anthem to day is presented with all of the words as written by Francis Scott Key. We have previously presented the mostly forgotten final stanza, but there is more. Click on the link below for the Star Spangled Banner as you have never heard it before. Everything else has been a pale shadow of the original. All words appear in print as well. We are going to run this version for a while and then repeat it often.
