What's your story?
Proton: The boat is a Corsair F-27 trimaran. I'm a physicist. A proton is made up of 3 quarks: Two "up" quarks and a "down" quark. You should ask people for the names of their dinghies if they have them. I like to see interesting dinghy-name/boat-name combinations. For example, mine is called"electron". Toby Castellarin has a boat named"Rum and Tonic"and his dinghy is named "Twist of Lime". One could go on for a long time.

“During their 300-day journey, the surfboard-sized Wave Gliders… will collect vast amounts of real-time data on ocean conditions and beam it to the cloud where it will be made available free to researchers worldwide,” Todd Woody of Forbes said in an article Friday.

Sharks less aggressive while listening to AC/DC
I knew it!!: There’s no telling what might happen if you play Taylor Swift of Justin Bieber for a great white shark.
You might not want to find out.
But if you crank up AC/DC, you’ll likely notice your great white friend getting a little more docile.
