No-Stress Food Ideas to Bring on Boating Trip

Mon, 25 Apr 2022 13:00:05 GMT

Good Food is Good Mood

A boating day on the water wouldn't be complete if you don't have something to eat during the trip. Being on the water with minimal cool food storage and no heating devices can be stressful, but here is how to outsmart the food ideas that we're going to share. We've rounded up a list of the best canapés to take with you on your next easy and delicious boating trip.

Home-made Fruit Soup

Although it’s not exactly a finger food, fruit soup is a refreshing way to wash down your yummy snacks. Instead of packing soda in the cooler box you can decant homemade fruit soup into individual containers like mason jars that will fit securely between ice packs.

Frozen Grapes

It's the perfect snack for a hot day on the water. Pre-freeze the grapes the night before in a large freezer bag and snack throughout the day. They also make perfect freezer packs to help keep other foods cold, but don't worry if they defrost, they'll still be delicious.

Pasta Salad
Pasta salad is a classic summer staple and is even more enjoyable on a boating trip.You can add all kinds of vegetables and toppings you like. Make sure you use an oil-based sauce and not mayo to make it last longer.

Veggie Skewers and Dip
Veggie skewers and Dip is a healthy and simple food that we find in any occasions. It's very simple to prepare and make this dish, just choose vegetables that don't need to be refrigerated, so it will help save space in your cooler for things like your favorite sauces.

Charcuterie Board
Charcuterie board is an easy prepped yet luxuriously presented finger food, it keeps well and it is perfect to munch on. It is also best enjoyed with champagne.

Sandwich Wraps

These can be pre-made the night before and should be kept in the cooler box. Sandwich wraps are a great party boat snack because lots can be made quickly and they are a mess-free finger food.

Homemade Muffins

These are great canapés, especially if you are heading out on the water early in the morning. Make your favorite kind of muffin the day before and individually wrap them for each boater. You can always get store bought muffins instead, for the reason of practicality.

Fishy Crackers

This salty bit sized snack has to be on the list for your boating trip. You can pack it in an individual sealed containers to prevent them from getting soggy out on the water.

Grilled food is like he ultimate food that can be enjoyed in any occasion. You can marinade your meat a day before the trip and put it in an air tight container and bring a portable griller or you can simply bring the grilled food and put it in a container.

Hot Dogs

similar to grilled food, you can grill your hotdog on your portable grill or just bring the cooked ones and heat it on boat if possible. These party finger foods are a lot easier to make on a boat with a marine grill. Instead of bringing a full bottle of ketchup consider saving small individual condiment packets for your next boating meal.

Walking Tacos

6 Ways Technology Is Changing Your Boating Experience

Mon, 18 Apr 2022 13:00:07 GMT

Changes Are Something That Have to Happen and Benefit Humanity

The emergence of new, innovative technologies continues to have a significant impact on every industry and activity. The boating and yachting world is no exception to this as new technologies have changed the industry and well as the way that boating enthusiasts enjoy their time out on the water. This topic deserves time to explore further.

The boating industry has seen the beginning of positive technology changes in recent years. From safety improvements to innovations that make yachting experience more luxurious, there's no denying that technological improvements have changed the face of boating industry. New innovations make ship operations more environmentally friendly than before, with these points in mind, there are 6 ways technology is changing your boating experience.

Technology Has Turned Boating Experience Into A Whole More Luxurious
Yacht and boat lovers are now enjoying a more luxurious experience than ever before, through the addition of various technological improvements. Air conditioning has been an available option in the yachting and boating world for a while, but is usually reserved for a below-deck experience. New technological innovations leverage onboard engines to provide a cooling experience for those in the open cockpit. This adds a new level of luxury to the boating experience that makes spending time on the water during the hottest months so much more comfortable.

Modern Yachts Run Quieter Than Ever
One of the downsides of spending long periods of time on the water has always been the noise factor. When boats and yachts are at cruising speed, the noise can be quite irritating. The use of high-tech materials changes this and allows seafarers to enjoy a much calmer experience. Innovations in electric motors have also had a major impact on the ability of boats and yachts to run quietly. Battery power also increases dramatically. This means that more and more boating enthusiasts can take advantage of a quieter experience by eliminating the combustion engine completely.

Technology Provides A Lot More Comfortable Experience On The Water
Seasickness has always been a major challenge to many people enjoying their time on the water. Recent developments in gyro-stabilization change this and create a boating experience that involves less rocking on the waves, this makes the yacht that runs on the water to be more stable and rocks less when it hits the waves so that the people on board would feel a lot more comfortable.

Yacht Enthusiasts Are Benefited by Advanced Technology That Reduces Carbon Footprints
Advances in boating technology help today's yacht and boat lovers to reduce their carbon footprint. Innovation in electric motors is a key factor as well as improvements in sail technology. The increasing advantages of wood composites and aluminum hulls in today's yacht construction also make a huge difference in reducing their carbon footprint and being more environmentally friendly. These materials can be easily recycled when the boat has reached the end of its life cycle. Dutch company Vaan is making significant strides in this key area.

Technology Changes Your Boating Game

Using sail power always offers a lot of benefits. This is desirable when it comes to the topic of reducing carbon footprints. Companies like OneSails invent a technology called 4T technology. It uses sails made with a polymer base. This eliminates the need for glue and creates a sail that is a single structure also completely recyclable.

Today's Yachts Are Safer Than Ever
Cruise and ship safety standards have never been at a higher level with the addition of new technologies. They help boaters to avoid collisions at sea, among other undeniable benefits. These innovative technological advances include the use of AIS. It is VHF based radio technology that helps to avoid collisions with other ships. it's never been easier to recognize other boats approaching.

So, that's all about how technology has helped boaters to have a more comfortable, easier, and safer boating game. If you're interested to try boating excursion with our comfortable and safe boats, please feel free to contact us at www.oceanbreezeway.com

How to Prevent Seasickness When On Boat

Mon, 28 Mar 2022 02:34:07 GMT

Make The Most of Your Time On Boat, Be Prepared for The Fun

Seasickness is an unpleasant sense of nausea that ranges from mild to crippling. It is generally considered to be a result of dissonance between the balancing mechanisms of your inner ears and the visual perception of your surroundings. In boating case, if the boat appears still while your inner ear detects motion, you may feel sick as a result. In this article, we would like to share some helpful tips to prevent seasickness with some helpful remedies.

Get Plenty of Rests
Make sure that you have plenty of rest and get your body prepared for the boating adventure. Lacking of sleep will worsen the symptoms of your seasickness. A "prepared" body will make a big difference.
Review The Weather
Ensure that the weather will cooperate with your boating plan. If you're prone to seasickness and the weather looks particularly volatile, it may be in your best interest to reschedule to a calm and peaceful day that will be much easier to manage your seasickness.
Plan Your Route and Vessel Carefully
It is a bright idea to plan your route and vessels. The larger the vessels, the more powerful it becomes, and it means that it tends to be more resilient to seasickness compared to the smaller ones. Moreover, choosing the routes with calmer waters and avoid choppy or tumultuous waters might help to ease and prevent your seasickness.
Take An Antiemetic Drug
Antiemetic medications are designed to prevent and treat nausea, reducing the symptoms of seasickness. There are several different types of drugs that fit this category, and many different brands for each of those types. However, if you want a stronger scopolamine drug, you’ll need to get a prescription. Either way, antiemetics can be taken as a preventative measure or in response to seasickness developing. Also, be aware that some types of antiemetic drugs can interact with other drugs or cause significant side effects; consult with a doctor before taking any.
Don’t be Embarrassed
If you feel the symptoms of seasickness begin to emerge, try not to feel embarrassed. This is something that happens to a lot of people, and there’s no shame in it. Accepting the feeling can help you process it.
Look at The Horizon
If you feel the symptoms of seasickness starting to come on in the cabin, head out to the deck and stare at the horizon. Remember, seasickness is at least partially attributable to a mismatch between what your inner ear is experiencing and what your eyes are seeing. If your eyes can more easily track the motion of your surroundings, some of your symptoms will fade. This is also a good way to get fresh air, making you feel more comfortable and relaxed as you process your symptoms.
Have A Light Snack
Research shows that having something light in your stomach can make nausea symptoms much more tolerable. Have a light snack that are gentle to your stomach and avoid any foods that might agitate your stomach.
Avoid Alcohol
It’s common for people to drink at sea to make the most of the relaxing experience, however, alcohol can upset your stomach and interfere with your perceptions at the same time. In other words, it’s probably only going to make things worse.
Throw Up When You Feel Like It
If you feel the urge to throw up, don’t try to fight it. Talk to a crew member or captain for guidance on the best location to do so; when you’re done, you’ll almost certainly feel better.
Distract Yourself
You can also mitigate feelings of nausea by distracting yourself. Even simple exercises, like counting, can help take your mind off the seasickness.
Engage with The Sea and The Environment
The more time you spend at sea, the more your body and mind will acclimate to the environment. Your seasickness may never fully go away, but it will definitely become more manageable.

That's all the tips on how to prevent and cure seasickness for you to have more enjoyable adventure on boat.

The Science is Clear: Boating is Good for Your Health & Mind

Mon, 14 Mar 2022 02:33:54 GMT

Nothing Is Better Than A Clear Science about The Clear Water

A huge number of Americans headed to boating activities after taking a simple advice from Tom Frieden, the former director of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention in early 2020. Americans looked for ways to enjoy the outdoor recreation safely with family and friends making the sales of U.S boat hit a 13-year high in 2020, with the 10 percent increase of first time buyers compared to 2019 according to the National Marine Manufacturer Association.

In fact, after the pandemic shutdowns first happened in early 2020, some of the first public spaces and businesses to reopen were boat ramps and marinas after officials determined that getting out on a boat could be done safely and would help people to get through the worst of the COVID-19 shutdowns. Many new boaters can simply feel, instinctively, being around the water can be healing in and of itself just like what the research continually says. Feeling the sunshine and fresh air all around, and looking out over the blue water toward the horizon, leads most people to relax, to exhale, to feel rejuvenated even in times of great stress.

Peter Francis, boating division director for the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said that boating or paddling could provide a refreshing outdoor escape during the COVID-19 pandemic. The escape doesn't have to be for long to provide a healing benefit. Researchers found that boaters felt the reduce in stress, anger, anxiety and they increase vigor, comfort, and a sense of feeling refreshed. The journal Frontiers in Psychology released in 2020 stated that as little as 10 minutes of being in a nature can have a positive effect compared to people in urban settings, also mentioned that people in natural settings tend to have a decrease in heart rate, cortisol levels, blood pressure, and more.

The science has proven that water is healing. Researchers at the University of Exeter Medical School in 2019 published a study that people who live near the ocean are 22 percent less likely to report depression that people who live inland. The benefit of body interacting with water helps lowered the risk of mortality by 17 percent, especially among women and older adults. According to a 2013 study, the sounds of bodies of water can help to reduce stress, this is proven by getting yourself within earshot of a lake, river, or ocean, and you will immediately feel better.

A best selling book, Blue Mind, looks at the scientific reasons for why being in, on or under the water can make us feel happier and healthier, written by Wallace J. Nichols mentioned "Simply the mere sight and sound of water promotes wellness by lowering cortisol, increasing serotonin, and inducing relaxation." he said that being on a boat is a type of medicine for reducing stress. Blue Mind as Nichols explains, is when we disconnect and logout, when we move away from the screens and we get out on the water and leave all of that technology and information behind. It's like giving a break to our brains and our brains love that.

There are more than just water benefit that you can gain from boating. Being on a boat usually means you’re exposed to great weather, in other words, you get plenty of sunlight. Regular exposure to sunlight is tied to a wide variety of positive mental health effects. During the midst of the corona virus pandemic in 2020, the Department of Homeland Security released a study related to the life cycle of the virus of non-living surfaces. The study detailed the anticipated times the virus can survive on surfaces given variations in temperature, humidity, and exposure to sunlight. Good news for boaters that the result of the study showed that the virus would die in approximately 2 minutes at temperature above 70 degrees Fahrenheit with relative humidity at 80% and direct exposure to sunlight.

Particularly, this type of scientific study gives concerns about the exposure of sunlight can also be beneficial for boaters to absorb the vitamin D from the sunlight. Other health benefits are the relaxation practice and physical activity that helps to ease out the stress level and enhance our mental health. So, the science is clear: Boating is good for your health and mind.
