The second article that I wrote for Boating Times Long Island was a feature article for their recurring section: Don’t Do What I Did!, a section about boater’s mistakes and what they learned from them. I retold a story of my dad’s, a trip he took that put a lot of damage on our boat. The article, which first appeared in the February issue of BTLI. can be seen in its published form by clicking on the images to the right.

“The feeling that you get when you’re jumping waves with a jet ski? That’s not what you want to experience when operating a 42′ foot convertible! But with their adrenaline racing, instead of backing down, they overpowered the wave and landed hard, accompanied by the sounds that turned out to be the sudden shattering of the Corian countertops.”

I have begun writing for Boating Times Long Island, a local boating magazine that is distributed monthly. My first article is about Sea Sickness appeared in the September issue. I did the research and interviews before submitting it to my editor. The article can be seen in its published form by clicking on the image to the right.

“Though motion sickness affects around 90% of those who ride on top the water, most long-time boaters become immune to the nauseating feelings we call sea sickness. But why do some boaters still feel it all their lives, while first-timers may never suffer?”
