The Real Meaning...

A world leader in marine biological research with focus on coral reef science and shark conservation, The Nova Southeastern University (NSU) Oceanographic Cen-ter has been at the forefront of graduate and undergraduate marine science educa-tion and oceanographic research for over 48 years. Students, scientists, faculty and staff come to the Center from all corners of the globe, with the common goal of learning from the ocean’s living classrooms — in one of the most diverse ecosys-tems known to man.

The Oceanographic Center serves as a national, regional, and community resource for information. There are several institutes, the National Coral Reef Institute for research and training on coral reef assessment, monitoring, and restoration; the Guy Harvey Research Institute for fish research and conservation, and the Save Our Seas Shark Center specializing in shark studies. The Center also implements the Broward County Sea Turtle Renesting Program. The Center’s facilities include a research library for the many disciplines of marine science, conference room, classrooms, staging area, electron microscopy laboratory, darkroom, machine shop, physical oceanography laboratory, computer center, wetlab/classroom coral workshop, filtered seawater facility and research laboratories.

Located at Port Everglades in Hollywood, Florida, near Fort Lauderdale, the NSU Oceanographic Center spans 10 acres and is home to a large marina, affording im-mediate access to coastal and open ocean environments and ecosystems.

Wind speeds along the South Florida coast were expected to reach 35 mph Thursday afternoon, but that's nothing for the mariners at the 53rd Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. In fact, thousands of people came out Thursday and grinned through the wind and rain to see more than 1,200 exhibitors of boats, mega yachts and the occasional subma-rine. The show will run through Monday.

Much of the weather is coming from the fringes of Hurricane Sandy, which began its northeastern path along the Atlantic Ocean earlier this week. The center of the storm is tracking to move northeast a few hundred miles off the coast of Florida, but Fort Lauderdale was expected to receive high winds, surf and rain Thursday evening and into Friday afternoon.

Much of South Florida's coastal region was under a tropical storm warning Thursday, but boat buyers and sellers re-mained optimistic throughout the day. "Boat buyers are fairly used to these kinds of elements," said Jon Burkard, president of broker Allied Marine Group, which sells Ferretti yachts. "Traffic is down a little bit, but we've seen a lot of positive buyers come and go today. They're an in-trepid bunch, so they'll find their way here."

As Burkard talked about his Stuart-based business that was showcasing some 40 boats at the show, a light rain began to pour down, sending people to huddle inside nearby tent booths. With the pitter-patter of raindrops above, Burkard said his business has been growing steadily throughout the years as the company moves from selling pre-owned yachts to new ones.

The Fort Lauderdale boat show is anticipating an economic impact of $500 million for exhibi-tors and local businesses, according to organizer Marine Industries Association of South Flor-ida. By comparison, The Palm Beach International Boat Show in March had a $76.7 million economic impact on South Florida, according to a study commissioned by the Marine Industries Association’s Palm Beach County chapter.

Boat of the Month

A Hot Tub That’s Also A Tugboat!

Yesterday: there were no hot tub tugboats. Today: there are now hot tub tug-boats. The end. Oh, come on... like you even need more of an intro than that. Fine. We’ll go on. Behold the immaculate con-ception of the HotTug, which is exactly what happens when a few guys in the Netherlands de-cide to combine the glory of a hot tub with the floatiness of a tugboat (yes, it’s also a boat), available online now. Seriously though. It’s a floating wood-fired hot tub. It’s got one of those big pipes coming out of it and everything. Smoke plumes. Stainless-steel oven. Outboard motor. The whole nine. And to get your hands on one, you’ll need to jump online and shoot an email to someone in Rotterdam. Someone who understands your need to fill this thing with water, throw some seasoned firewood into the oven and wage a shock-and-awe campaign on anyone you happen to be sharing a body of wa-ter with. So do that. Pick your captain’s hat up from the cleaners, round up a few cocktail-forward coxswains and find a lake. You’ll be able to navigate through the water just like you would in any other small boat. Except you’ll be in a hot tub. With smoke spewing out of it. And probably some champagne. You’re in a hot tub tugboat. You should celebrate.

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails. -William Arthur Ward There are only two colors to paint a boat, black or white, and only a fool would paint a boat black. -Nathanael G. Herreshoff
