MYCO Trailers to Include a Sea Tow Gold Card Membership and Trailer Care+ Benefits with the Purchase of a Trailer

S

www.abelsmarine.com

All trailers are built in the U.S. using only premium branded products, such as Goodyear and Continental tires and American-made aluminum and steel.

Sea Tow’s Gold Card membership has the most comprehensive boat towing services available on the water. This card provides membership privileges for any covered recreational vessel that has an engine and is registered to or owned by the member, regardless of who is operating the covered vessel when it’s disabled.

The Gold Card member may also use their privileges on any vessel they charter, rent or lease.

The Gold Card membership includes 24/7 priority service on both salt and fresh waters nationwide for members; unlimited towing with no distance or dollar

limits in the member’s home area; service for any boat owned by the member, regardless of who is operating it; coverage on any boat the member charters, rents or leases; dock-to-dock boat tow coverage from home port to repair facility (or trailer ramp) for all boats owned by the member; offshore coverage; service when boating to the Bahamas; Ask The Captain™, offering members local navigation, troubleshooting, referrals; and more.

Exclusive to Sea Tow members, Sea Tow’s Trailer Care+ membership upgrade includes 24/7 roadside assistance services for the boat trailer and towing vehicle for when the unexpected happens trailering a boat to and from the water. Trailer Care+ includes towing to a repair facility or a safe location; help with axle and wheel bearing issues; towing vehicle lockout assistance; flat tire change with spare on a trailer or towing vehicle; and jump start and fuel delivery. Service up to $600 is covered per incident.

“This is a great service to be able to offer our customers peace of mind,” said Denis McComb, MYCO’s vice president of sales and marketing.

“Sea Tow aims to provide boaters peace of mind on and off the water,” said Sea Tow President Kristen Frohnhoefer.

How to Name a Boat: 6 Tips for Naming Your New Boat

A

hoy, boaters! Whether you’ve just purchased a vessel at a boat show or find yourself amidst the excitement of boat shopping, an essential task awaits: naming your beloved boat.

As the boating season approaches and the call of the water grows stronger, it’s time to ponder the perfect moniker for your boat.

Join us as we explore the significance of boat names and delve into the creative process behind choosing one that truly captures the spirit of your seafaring adventures.

6 Tips for Naming Your Boat 1. Keep Your Boat Name Brief While it’s tempting to craft elaborate and descriptive names, keeping them concise and to the point is essential. A short name not only looks sleek on the transom but also ensures clarity and ease during VHF radio communications. Imagine trying to convey a long and convoluted name amidst crackling radio static – simplicity ensures your message gets across swiftly and clearly. So, when brainstorming boat names, aim for brevity without sacrificing personality or impact.

2. Consider Incorporating a Familiar Name Incorporating your family’s name or that of a loved one into your boat’s name adds a personal touch to your vessel’s identity.

Not only does it honor the bond shared with those closest to you, but it also symbolizes

the unity and camaraderie experienced aboard your maritime adventures. Whether it’s a nod to generations past or a tribute to those who’ve shared countless memories on the water, including a family member’s name infuses your boat with a sense of history, legacy, and emotional connection that enriches every voyage.

3. Incorporate Your Profession or Another Hobby Infusing your boat’s name with elements of your profession or hobbies adds another layer of significance and personality. It’s not uncommon to come across clever and thematic names like “Knot on Call” for a physician’s vessel or “Doctor’s Orders” for a boat owned by medical professionals.

Incorporating your profession or hobby into the name not only reflects your expertise or interests but also serves as a conversation starter among fellow enthusiasts on the water.

4. Add a Witty Pun When naming your boat, puns and double meanings reign supreme, injecting a dose of wit and humor into your vessel’s identity.

Building upon the previous point, it’s no surprise that attorneys often embrace wordplay to incorporate their profession into their boat’s name. Names like “Alibi,” “Plead Insanity,” or “Knot Guilty” not only showcase their legal expertise but also highlight their playful side.

Embracing puns and wordplay allows you to infuse your boat’s name with personality and charm, ensuring that it stands out on the water!

5. Pay Homage to Your Favorite Song, Movie, or Other Art You Love Drawing inspiration from your favorite songs, movies, or other cultural works can yield some captivating boat names! Whether it’s a homage to Jimmy Buffett’s laid-back anthem with “Margaritaville” or a nod to the legendary ship from “Pirates of the Caribbean” with “The Black Pearl,” infusing your boat’s name with elements from beloved art adds a touch of flair and nostalgia to your maritime adventures.

6. When in Doubt, Make it Entertaining Boating is not just about navigating the waters; it’s about fostering a sense of community and shared joy. If a glance at your transom makes people laugh, you’ve just helped to make the boating world a better place.

Deciding How to Name Your New Boat Consider the above as you decide what to name your boat, but also take your time! Many people feel pressured to come up with a name the day they buy their new boat when, in truth, it may take you a few months to determine the perfect name for your boat.

Some owners find that the perfect name emerges organically as they spend time on the water, getting to know the personality of their vessel. Others find inspiration in

literature, mythology, or personal experiences.

Don’t rush the process; allow the name to reveal itself naturally, and when it does, you’ll know it’s the right fit.

How to Christen a Boat with its Name Christening a boat is open to interpretation!

However, most boat christening ceremonies consist of steps such as: • Gather some friends and family, then launch the boat and tie it to a pier or dock.

• Pass around a celebratory drink: think champagne (for passengers over the age of 21) and mocktails (for the captain).

• Place a green, leafy branch (of any sort) in the boat to represent a safe return to land.

• Name the boat and make a toast to the adventures ahead.

• Go for a boat ride!

In conclusion, naming your boat is not just a formality but an opportunity to infuse your vessel with personality, meaning, and a touch of your own unique flair. Whether you draw inspiration from family ties, professions, hobbies, favorite songs or movies, or simply opt for a clever pun, the key is to choose a name that resonates with you and captures the essence of your maritime adventures.

Roasted Florida Snapper Street Tacos with Avocado Crema Ingredients 1 pound Florida snapper fillet, skin on and bones removed 1/2 cup Florida avocado, diced 2 teaspoons taco seasoning blend, divided 1 lime, juiced (plus more wedged for garnish) 1 cup sour cream Florida-made hot sauce, to taste 1 fresh Florida chili pepper, thinly sliced (if desired for heat) 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (plus more for garnish) 1 head Florida romaine lettuce, shredded Olive oil for cooking 8 soft corn or flour street taco tortillas, toasted 1 cup fresh salsa Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste Preparation: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

With a sharp knife, make some cross hatches in the skin of the snapper without cutting through the meat of the fish fillet; this will keep the snapper fillet from curling up during the cooking process. Season both sides of the snapper fillet with 1 teaspoon of the taco seasoning blend. Lightly cover a sheet pan with olive oil. Place the fillet skin side down on the oiled sheet pan. Add a few chili pepper slices to the top of the snapper fillet for extra heat if desired. Place the snapper in the preheated oven and cook for 5 to 8 minutes until thoroughly cooked in the thickest part. Remove from the oven and let cool.

When the snapper fillet is cooled slightly, use 2 forks to flake the snapper into chunks.

While the snapper is cooking, add sour cream, avocado, the remaining 1 teaspoon taco seasoning, cilantro, a few more slices of chili pepper if desired and half the lime juice to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Taste the avocado crema sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove the avocado crema from the food processor and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Add the shredded romaine lettuce, remaining lime juice and a pinch of the taco seasoning blend to a small mixing bowl and stir lightly to coat. To assemble the tacos, place an even amount of the shredded lettuce on top of each toasted tortilla and top with the snapper. Add fresh salsa and avocado crema. Finally, garnish with lime wedges, Florida hot sauce and extra fresh cilantro if desired.

A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK - STUART - Despite numerous COVID-19 restrictions, more and more boaters are taking to the water to alleviate at-home boredom while taking advantage of the open-air benefits and more pandemicfree aspects of recreational boating. But if you haven’t been out boating in a while, are your vessel’s lights operating properly? Do you have a sufficient number of life jackets for the number of passengers aboard? Is your engine’s ventilation system up to par? To get you started on a new year boating adventure, now may be a perfect time to consider getting a 2022 Vessel Safety Check (VSC) offered by certified VSC examiners from the St. Lucie River Power Squadron, also known as America’s Boating Club of Martin County. These trained VSC examiners from the local squadron will point out safety features such as minimum requirements required by the U.S. Coast Guard, examine fundamental mechanical aspects of your vessel, and answer questions how you can have more fun safely on the water.

These are just a few of the many discussion points covered in this voluntary examination.

As an added plus, Vessel Safety Checks are free to boat owners. And if you don’t “pass muster” with the thorough examination, the summary report is yours and yours alone. No record of any possible deficiencies will be reported to the USCG, state agency or any other authority. Want to know more about this complimentary Vessel Safety Check program? Contact Peter Burns at (772) 486-2684 or burnspet@aol.com. St. Lucie River Power Squadron, one of more than 300 squadrons nationwide, also offers safe boating classes to the public. Check on their website, www.slrps.org, when classes will resume.

Information about the parent organization is available at www.usps.org.

BUSY, CLASSES DON’T FIT YOUR TIMETABLE? THEN ADJUST OUR SCHEDULE We understand BUSY. The Banana River Sail and Power Squadron teaches a large number of classes. They are regularly scheduled throughout the year.

Sometimes your schedule and our schedule do not match. Rather than have you miss a class offering we will schedule and teach any of the classes listed below whenever five (5) or more students make a request for a class. To make a class request, please call 321-220-7776 or email hofmanneg@juno.com for more information or to request a class. LIST OF COURSES: BASIC BOATING: America’s Boating Course 3rd Edition.

Captain’sCorner

with Captain Dylan Hubbard INSHORE FISHING REPORT Snook season opened March 1 in our area for two months, but remember, they must be in that narrow slot of 28-33 inches to be able to harvest one per angler per day. Now typically in order to find one in this slot can be challenging, and especially for now it would be even more difficult. They are still very much in the back bay waters and back country areas. They will come out of those areas more as waters warm and days get longer, and that movement or transition is beginning now.

We are seeing more and more bait around which will help spur them along too. Between days lengthening, bait present and warming trends these are all variables that will ‘lure’ the snook out of their back country, back bay, river, creek and bayou hiding spots they have taken refuge in during the ‘winter’.

Trout action still going well around the area too.

We are seeing lots of trout action around the islands, flats, and dock lines. However, now

West Central Florida Southwest Coast

that things are starting to warm a bit I would imagine we should see them more frequently around the bridge and dock lights at night and moving a bit deeper on the flats out of that super shallow areas we have found them the past few months.

Sheepshead are still super prolific and aggressive around the area structures and that will continue awhile until things really warm up.

This is a great time to targe them prior to their annual scatter back to the back bay and upper bay areas which thins out the numbers we see concentrated typically this time of year.

Redfish action has been a bit spotty but going well once you find them.

Now that things are going to warm a bit they should get more active and aggressive.

We are going to see some nicer weather too allowing you to be able to ‘see’ the fish better when cruising our back bay waters.

Pompano action has been spotty but going well.

with Captain Taylor Cowieson

We had some good numbers caught a few days this past week around madeira beach, johns pass and treasure island. Great time to go pompano jigging around local sandy edges, jetties and passes to try and find some of these great eating fish.

Triple tail are around too, and we should start to see more as spring they get a bit more easy to spot around the floating debris, buoys and markers of our area.

next few weeks to a month as the spawn comes to an end.

FLBASSTOURNAMENTS.COM - Your #1 source for Florida Bass Tournaments.

We are slowly starting to enter in our spring fishing patterns here in Bradenton and Anna Maria Island.

On our inshore fishing charters we are seeing more hungry snook, seatrout, and redfish coming out of their winter haunts in search of food so they can start to reproduce again. The next few months we will be targeting the snook, trout, and redfish in the waters of Tampa Bay and Sarasota Bay but there will also be a chance of encoutering Spanish mackerel, ladyfish, jack crevelle, mangrove snapper, bluefish and more. Since we had somewhat of a cooler winter the spring time fishing should be very good as the bait moves back in and fish start to gorge themselves. Right now the sheepshead spawn is in full swing and they are around most of the artificial reefs and structures in Tampa Bay like the Skyway Bridge.

These fish will be a good target on our inshore fishing charters for the

Near shore in the Gulf of Mexico the water temp is in the mid 60s and is starting to warm as the days get longer. We are seeing more and more bait schools showing up as it gets warmer. When the weather allows for us to get out there lately we are bottom fishing for mangroves snapper, key west grunts, sheepshead, and the occasional hogfish or black sea bass. We also catch the occasional gag that is out of season but will provide for a great battle on light tackle. The next month or so is prime time to get out when the weather allows to bottom fish for these tasty fish.

Once the water temperature starts to consistently be in the low 70s in the Gulf of Mexico we will see a lot more bait schools and the king mackerel, bonita, sharks, and Spanish mackerel will be here to eat and then eventually keep moving north. When the king mackerel show up they are very aggressive and give a great fight on light tackle. These are one of our favorite fish to catch on our fishing charters in the spring.

PALM BEACH INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW - MARCH 21-24 - Since 1982, the boat show has grown to occupy a dominant position in South Florida as both a leader in the boating and marine industry, and as an economic engine to the Palm Beach community and the tri-county area.

An analysis of the boat show from 2022 showed that the event has an estimated total statewide economic impact of over $1.05 billion. With over 55,000 visitors attending the show in previous years, this has contributed to over $725 million in total sales resulting from the show. Owned by the Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County and produced by Informa Markets, the Palm Beach International Boat Show will be taking place along Flagler Drive in downtown West Palm Beach, directly across the Intracoastal Waterway from Palm Beach Island. This year’s boat show will be integral in providing visitors, exhibitors, and the community at large with an unforgettable event featuring more than $1.2 billion worth of yachts and accessories, including hundreds of boats ranging from 8-foot inflatables to superyachts nearly 300 feet in length. From the VIP experience to the AquaZone, there will be activations that cater to all ages and adventure-seeking lifestyles. This year’s show also coincided with the Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary (PBM+C) Art Fair, part of Informa Markets’ Art Miami division. Windward Club ticketholders had access to both events, which featured a complimentary open bar, gourmet food, concierge, and sponsorship pop-up activations in a unique indoor and outdoor lounge setting. The Palm Beach County Convention Center brought a world-class, internationally respected group of art galleries and marine enthusiasts to Palm Beach, providing the perfect combination of fine art and luxury vessels to show attendees and exhibitors at large.
