PWCs: They Don’t Hate Us Anymore- Editor H2ONotes [ 9/10/2010 - 06:21 ] #  Has anyone else noticed that nobody hates PWC riders anymore? Seems like
just yesterday watercraft riders were drawing small arms fire from
flats guides in the Florida Keys, getting kicked off the water in New
England and Lake Tahoe, and even drawing the ire of boat manufacturers
for causing too much controversy. more...

Discover the deep blue- Editor H2ONotes [ 6/30/2010 - 07:20 ] #  The bubbles appeared first. Then, the bright yellow
oxygen tank strapped to Tim Brown's back. Then, finally, the 61-year-old
broke the surface of the St. Clair River, his salt-and-pepper beard
soaked, his head covered in a wetsuit.
Brown, of Port Huron, is an avid scuba diver, making dozens of dives a
week in the river and southern Lake Huron."I only come up here on days that end in 'y'," he
said with a laugh. He
loves diving in the area for many reasons. "There's clear water. Wrecks. You don't have to spend
all day on a boat. You just suit up and jump in." more...

A Sunday paddle on Lake Erie- Editor H2ONotes [ 6/21/2010 - 11:01 ] #  Like many folks who live in Metro Detroit, I tend to head Up North for
recreation, but this past Father's Day, I headed south on I-75 for a
change, and drove about 45 minutes to Sterling State Park near Monroe on
Lake Erie.
Although it wasn't planed as a Father's Day event, it turned out that
way because our paddle on Brest Bay brought back vivid memories of
fishing for perch with my father and grandfather in the 1950s. In those
days, especially during October, we would catch boat loads of them, and I
remember endlessly scaling them at my grandparents' cottage. There
would then be large family dinners. I've priced perch at markets, and
figure I probably scaled at least a million dollars worth when I was a
kid. more...

Yamaha Offering Three WaveRunner PWC Under $9,000- Editor H2ONotes [ 6/15/2010 - 06:05 ] #  The 2010 PWC line-ups are some of the best ever, and offer some
serious value for the budget-minded consumer. The Sea-doo
GTI SE and the Yamaha
VX Deluxe are two of the top contenders in the "Value" category of
PWC priced under $9,000.
First, let's be clear that "Value" does not imply "cheap" or
"entry-level." Both of these models are quality watercraft that are
very popular with PWC owners because they deliver a big bang for the
buck. In fact, the Yamaha VX was the best-selling PWC in the entire
boating industry for 2009; a feat that it has repeated for the past five
years. more...
