Beverage Container Does the Job and Gives Something Back

Hydro Flask

Inspired in 2008 on a beach in Hawaii by many beverage containers that were not doing a good job of keeping fluids cold on a hot day, Travis Rosbach began the process that lead to the creation of the first Hydro Flask, incorporating principles of vacuum insulation, safety (BPA-free), food grade stainless steel, a range of durable colours and a charitable arm called FivePercentBack.org.

A Hydro Flask is a reusable water bottle that truly performs in any environment.  It keeps hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold.   Keeps your cold liquids cold for 24 hours, and your hot liquids hot for 12 hours.  Made from food grade 18/8 Stainless Steel, Hydro Flask stainless steel water bottles are safe and 100% BPA-free. 18/8 stainless steel is remarkably light, yet extremely durable.

Features that set the Hydro Flask apart from other beverage containers:
1. Sweat Free – double wall vaccuum insulation prevents condensation
2. Ouch Free – no matter the temperature inside the container, the exterior remains comfortable to the touch
3. Non-Toxic, Food Grade Powder Coating – you can safely lick it if you want to
4. Soy-Based Ink for Logos
5. High Quality, Food Grade 18/8 Stainless Steel
6. Vaccuum Insulated Technology – first and only all vaccuum insulated bottle company in the world.  A lifetime guarantee puts their money where their mouths are.
7. Hots Hot for at Least 12 Hours
8. Colds Cold for 24 Hours and More

Enhancing Life and Earth:
After purchasing a Hydro Flask surf to FivePercentBack.org, input the serial number from your Hydro Flask and select a charity that resonates with you.  You’ll find organizations that represent environmental stewardship, healthy lifestyle choices, emergency response services, animal advocacies, social efforts, humanitarian services and many more that work to unite people and precipitate change.

Nimbus 365 Coupe – A real long-stay cruising boat for exploring

By Andy Adams

There is no shortage of fun and exciting new boat designs hitting the market, but for the last few years these have been mainly outboard-powered day boats. Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
