SkipperGuide - interesting web project
SkipperGuide is a wiki-based, maritime cruising guide. The idea behind: everybody can add his knowledge and experiences, and can profit from the contributions of other users. So, an information pool of the consolidated knowledge of many different users can grow.I think, it is a great idea and worth to be supported. Some interesting descriptions are already available about the Canary Islands, Greece, Norway and Scotland.
Maybe you also have some knowledge about sailing areas, anchorages, harbours, great places to visit or just some tips or corrections: it is quite simple to add it.

Sailing for the Science
The German sports student, Jan Plagmann, choosed a uncommon topic for his diploma thesis: the group dynamics within the crew - on a transatlantic trip.
You don't have often the chance, to study 8 persons, isolated for 3 weeks. But I think, you don't have often the chance to go sailing for weeks in the name of the science :) However, a great idea.
The findings - as reported by a german magazine: the sentiment was good, and in storms, the cohension of the team grew. In summary, they've been "a really cool team".
