We are back from the annual Fred Hall Long Beach show ready to again commence our projects on Royal Star. It was a real pleasure speaking with everyone and having the opportunity to give the seminars that are the signature of our visits to these phenomenal promotional events. On that note we are already planning for next year and beyond with fantastic ideas provided from many of you on how to fine tune our material and delivery to better inform. We look forward to taking to the next level.

For our photos today I thought I would include some shots gleaned from the internet of the giant merchant ship that ran aground on Clipperton Island last month. What a colossal mistake tragic for such a delicate, unique environment. These photos do a fine job of describing the story. For those of you lucky few that have been to, and/or walked on the island you can see the grounding occurred just to the east northeast of the rock. It really is sad as the reef along this stretch was beautiful beyond description. It is almost impossible to imagine that this could happen in these modern times. It serves as another perfect example of how important it is to be consistently professional while working at sea. If one is not, or the Captain runs a loose operation, results such as these are inevitable. It is only a matter of time.

Look for reports and photos to continue.
