Just hours before the incident our Nautical Nomad got the chance to catch up with Dragon's Rob Windsor and Pat O'Connor, who was sailing aboard the eventual winner Gryphon Solo. Their chat about sailing quickly descends into talking smack and nonsense about mascots. Way too much time alone at sea we think! See if you agree.

You don't have to be able to be able to splice your own dock lines to be a good boater, but knowing how to tie a few basic knots is a skill set just about anyone who boats should possess. But beyond those basics are some great knots that not very many boaters know about. One example includes "stopper" knots, which are designed to be tied at the ends of lines to keep them from pulling free of blocks, eye bolts, or even our bare hands.

We've compared the best Marine coolers in the world before, but since then another company, Pelican, has come out with a new line of super-coolers—and they're even rated bear-proof. Only a handful of coolers make the grade. And after Pelican sent us a 65-quart model to test out, we weren't surprised that it could stand up to the onslaught of North America's largest predator. This thing is tough. Really tough. Still, we at boats.com hate to take other people's word for it on such matters, so we arranged for a real-live bear-test of our own, and shot this video of a 65-quart ProGear Elite under assault from several different large and very scary grizzly bears. See for yourself just how it stood up.

Gasoline stinks. Literally. Both prior to combustion and as it leaves the exhaust manifold, this foul fossil fuel is offensive to both your nose and the environment. Unfortunately, it's also a necessary evil. Other fuels simply don't have the same punch as petrol, and if you want your outboard-powered boat to go any faster than a snail's pace, gasoline is a must-have. Or, is it? New forms of alternatively powered outboards have come onto the market in recent years, and they're surprisingly promising. Let's take a look at some of the options you now have to become a petroleum-free powerboater.
