What does Pokémon have to do with Boating?

It might not occur to boaters that the Pokémon Go phenomenom may be something to watch for on the water but it makes some sense, considering that the outrageously popular app is just using GPS technology, and if geo-caching can be conducted on the waterways then why not the search for the little animated characters also? The tips for searching on water seem to apply to searching for them anywhere, but it's good to be aware and caution your clients as well as they head out for a cruise or a sail. Also this week a lot of new models to peruse and see what is coming down the pipe for fall marine conferences. There is always a lot to discuss on Twitter too so drop us a line anytime @BoatIndCan.
