We've been pretty busy this week with some great new prizes being donated for this year's celebration. Read on and see what's on offer...
Welcome aboard Summer Sailstice, 2K Yachting. The German based sailing software company is donating 3 x digital "Logbook 3.7" and 10 x "Signal Flags Tool" apps. The company began in 2008 when sailors, Helmut and Almute Kraus, decided to use their nautical knowledge and experience to create practical navigation electronics for every day sailing. Their Logbook 3.7 and Signal Flags apps are used by power and sail boat owners across the globe on both inland waterways and ocean voyages. The software is easy to use and is compatible with Windows and Mac PCs and iPad. 2K Yachting also has an interesting gallery of Helmut’s stunning nautical images. Take a look at some of his creative works.

Anyone into shipboard music? Kala Brand Music Co is onboard with 3 x ‘Waterman’ Ukuleles. Summer Sailstice sailors will have a chance to win either the “Glow in the Dark”, “Orange Swirls”, or “All Transparent” ukulele - they call this last one “The Ghost Uke”. Sounds pretty funky right? I know I like having music on board and you can’t beat a Ukulele for some fun and tunes with friends. So get on board for Summer Sailstice and be in the running to win one of these quality instruments - made with water resistant composite technology, and packing vintage design and sound. I want one! Take a look at their website and maybe get yourself a Waterman Uke now and create some Sailstice tunes. Who knows, you might get famous.
Well, that’s all from me for this week. Remember, it’s only 16 weeks until Summer Sailstice. Summer is coming, guaranteed. Can you feel it in the air?
