It’s official. It’s spring. By all measures, meteorological, astronomical and anatomical, spring is sprung.

In any case, Surf Wax makes a great beer to stow in the cooler for your next trip to the beach, out to sea, or for just sitting at home as consolation for a cancelled pelagic trip. MORE
As Christopher Columbus sailed through Caribbean waters, he described turtles “in such vast numbers that they covered the sea.” It’s only when the females labour ashore to lay their eggs, or when baby turtles emerge from nests on sandy beaches, that the rare few of us are fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of them.

Anyway, this week brought a spot of good news: the Seattle City Council voted unanimously to re-designate Columbus Day as Indigenous People’s Day. MORE
The Scioto (pronounced Sigh-OH-ta) River is best described as a murky stream of brownish muck--sometimes a torrent after a lot of rain, or snow melt, that meanders through central Ohio, eventually merging with the Olentangy (pronounced OH-lin-tan-jee) River in downtown Columbus. John likes to point out the inefficiency of subsidizing flood insurance for coastal residents. But the inefficiencies aren't limited to coast states. MORE
