Envolé, le stress des manœuvres au port : Bénéteau lance Dock & Go, une innovation exclusive pour accoster son voilier en toute sérénité. Bénéteau (ré-) invente la manœuvre En permettant à tous les plaisanciers l'accès aux places de port les plus compliquées, Bénéteau lève un frein important au plaisir des navigateurs et supprime l'appréhension des manœuvres : un enfant saura accoster un Oceanis 50 à sa place, en toute confiance Un joystick ludique et intuitif pour des déplacements précis et sûrs Grâce à son joystick qui synchronise une embase saildrive pivotante et un propulseur d'étrave, DOCK & GO permet de manœuvrer un grand voilier en toute sérénité, quels que soient le vent et le courant, mais également la configuration du port. Ludique et très intuitif, le système facilite les déplacements du bateau au sein d'un espace limité et offre une précision de mouvements incomparable Sécurité et puissance pour une maniabilité sans faille Alliant sécurité et puissance, DOCK & GO combine l'assistance du moteur et du propulseur d'étrave et offre la même puissance en marche arrière qu'en marche avant. Compatible avec l'utilisation d'hélices drapeaux ou repliables, DOCK & GO optimise la puissance du voilier pour une manœuvrabilité à toute épreuve. Disponible dès le printemps 2011, la solution DOCK & GO sera proposée sur les modèles équipés d'une motorisation Yanmar 75 cv SD. L'option DOCK & GO pourra donc équiper les Sense (50'), Oceanis 46 et Oceanis 50. Comment fonctionne le système DOCK & GO ? 1 - Un calculateur synchronise une embase saildrive pivotante (De 0 à 180°) et un propulseur d'étrave 2 - Les manœuvres s'effectuent à l'aide d'un Joystick en «Croix» au poste de barre : translation à 90° sur bâbord ou tribord, marche avant, marche arrière et rotation sur place. 3 - La marche arrière s'effectue par pivotement du saildrive sans perte de puissance. 4 - La barre est automatiquement bloquée pendant l'utilisation du joystick. 5 - La rotation du saildrive s'effectue à l'aide d'un moteur électrique en une demi seconde.

Not all Wal-Marts allow overnight camping, in fact most in CA don't allow it and many Walmart's in larger cities don't allow you to sleep in your vehicle. Always call in advance to verify their overnight parking policy. Read the Post on our website for more info: http://www.gonewiththewynns.com/free-camp-walmart Road tripping is awesome; trying to drive when you are exhausted is not. Luckily there are several answers to this problem. For now, let's talk about one. Wal-Mart Camping! It's not my favorite place to visit. They are lacking in the eco-friendly and small business department, but they have one big thing going for them when it comes to helping the weary traveler: Many are RV, truck and car camping friendly. They are one of the few retailers that allow you to stay in their parking lot overnight. When you are on a long trip and can't find any rest stops or campgrounds along your route, Wal-Mart starts looking pretty good. The important thing to remember when doing this is to do it the right way. So watch the video, take some notes and let us know if you have any other helpful advice for others. BTW - This is not the "difinitive guide to Wal-Mart camping" its just a quick video on how we do parking lot camping. Happy Camping! http://www.gonewiththewynns.com Music License purchased through Istock

Can you imagine the child like delight over bobbing jack-o'-lanterns surrounded by nibbling fish during an Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest! Every year the Lake Havasu Dive Association holds just an event. The annual event is staged by Captain Kathy of the association and all you have to do is show up with your pumpkin and gear in hand. Armed with dive knives, tiny saws and a little imagination, diver's suit up and swim down 15-30ft to sculpt away. Judges rate divers on their artistic originality, as well as the degree of difficulty to carve the entry in the watery and buoyant environment. Best part is, there is no fee to participate! Free events are the best! Read the full Post: gonewiththewynns.com/?p=1402 http://gonewiththewynns.com Music: "Drop of Water In the Ocean" by Broke For Free (brokeforfree.com/)
