My Kind of Cruise

Tired of those boring caribbean cruises where all you do is shop, drink & relax? Then maybe you should try an ocean discovery cruise. Learn about the ocean from real ocean explorers and take part in a Woods Hole experience.

New Favourite Commercial

Today: Washington, Tomorrow: Fremantle?

Seeing how everyone is so eager to go to DC, who wants to go to Australia?

There's a new Maritime Museum that recently opened in Western Australia that looks pretty fun.

I'm sure we could get a decent group rate on airfare, lol

Cruise Ship Pollution

Here's a pic I snagged a few seconds ago. I missed the big plume while I was grabbing my camera but I still managed to snag this one. Just think of all the cruise ships around the world and all the plumes of pollution they're creating. And to think this is only visible pollution, god only knows what they're leaving behind in the water that we can't see.

Sant Ocean Hall

Want an exhibit in the Smithsonian named after you? Turns out all you have to do is have 15 million dollars laying around and donate it to the museum institute
