If You Love Boating, Spread the Word With The Discover Boating Facebook Movie Maker

An exciting new feature of the Discover Boating campaign is the Facebook Movie Maker.

For people who love boating (and who doesn't!) the Discover Boating ad campaign has just launched the new Facebook "Welcome to the Water Movie Maker" app. The movie maker app is LIVE on Facebook.com/DiscoverBoatingCanada "Welcome to the Water Movie Maker" and it enables boaters to create their own customized short boating movie using photos of their favourite boating memories. Once created, the personalized boating movie can be shared with family and friends on Facebook. In addition to using their own photos, boaters can choose their favourite music, background theme and write their own captions to create their individual 'Welcome to the Water' movie.

Time To Prepare For Next Season, Starting With Electronics

We’ve written previously suggesting that NOW is the good time to do all those maintenance items that we all usually leave to spring-time. The more boaters can get done before the good weather, the easier and less frustrating pre-season commissioning will be. Our friends at the GPS Store sent along this terrific reminder about doing a complete check on electronics: “People should also pay attention to their boat’s marine electronics and electrical systems, because failures here are just as likely to ruin that first fishing trip or coastal cruise,” said Scott Heffernan, Sales Manager of The GPS Store, Inc. “A few basic steps and system checks can ensure smooth sailing not only on your first trip, but all season long.“
