The weeks before Christmas are fleeting by and shopping for gifts can be a frantic time.  Let's be clear. Gifts for your skipper don't have to be for Christmas or Hanukkah. During these winter months, it is prime buying time for boat products, so you can take advantage of Black Friday sales, and to peruse boating catalogs while you are sitting by a warm fire. Gift Ideas Give it some thought. Maybe it is a gift for the captain, but also something that will make your own life better on the high seas. Does it ever annoy you that swim ladders seem about two rungs too short? Take a look at the CLR Marine Extend Your Step Ladder. It adds several rungs to your existing swim ladder, and hangs on the bottom most rung. It lengthens your ladder by several additional rungs. Extend Your Step stays right on your boarding ladder, so you never need to store it.     While you are sailing, at some point you have to drop anchor, or tie up to a dock. It may be raining, so what better way to sit out a storm, or catch up with your favorite football game, than a Jensen 19" 12 volt television.      No guilt allowed about  closing the hatches or watching some late night television while you are anchored. The 19" LED DC TV packs a punch with an integrated HDTV tuner and JCOM, allowing it to communicate with your Jensen HDMI-equipped stereos.    Maybe it's time to treat yourself to some updated foul weather gear. Onyx 7501 Flotation Jackets and First Watch H20 Flac jackets are popular  this season.The Onyx 7501provides better hypothermia protection than a traditional, vest style life jacket in colder water conditions. The First Watch H20 Flack jacket is engineered for warmth, breathability and rugged performance.     While most fishermen prefer to pick out their own rod and reel, a great gift to compliment the pole is an organizational bucket for lures, tools and line. Wild River Rigger 5 Gallon Bucket has many compartments to keep a fisherman organized while casting.     It doesn’t matter who cooks the grub for the crew, but it makes lots of sense to keep the cook happy. Why not outfit the galley with new cookware, or an updated stern grill. Everything a galley cook needs is in the full set of Magma Nesting 10-Piece Induction Compatible Cookware with its Magma Red Exterior & Slate Black Ceramica Non-Stick Interior. All ten pieces are easy to store. A Magma Chef’s Mate gas grill is easy to install, is transportable, and folds away for easy storage. It excels with equal heat distribution. Making the skipper happy with some new tools and gear is fodder for a great sailing season.   Enjoy the holidays.   Fair Winds and Smooth Sailing.

Suzuki Marine was recognized by several boating-related organizations with a “Show It, Don't Stow It” award at the Miami International Boat Show last month.   The award is given to the company that best highlights the importance of life jacket wear in its display at the boat show. It was presented by the Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, U.S. Power Squadrons, Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, the National Marine Manufacturers Association and the National Safe Boating Council.   “We're continually working to promote and display examples of life jacket and safety gear usage throughout the industry, and manufacturers can really play an important role in sharing this key message,” said Cathy Rick-Joule, NMMA vice president and Southern shows manager, in a statement.     “At Suzuki, we realize that PFDs are as important as the motor on a boat, so it was natural for us to include them in our advertising campaign,” spokesman Dean Corbisier said in a statement. “We feel that it's our duty to clearly portray the importance of safety gear and to encourage our customers to make life jacket usage a way of life.”
