The Latest From The Docksiders- Performance at The Hard Rock Oahu, HI

Thanks to Leah Lovasco and the band for the current updates!

After a low key day spent at the beach and/or shopping, the Docksiders performed at the Hard Rock Cafe where they literally “rocked the house”.  The manager stated that this band is “up there with the likes of some famous bands” that has played there in the past.  While performing, even the kitchen staff was dancing.  The bartender was so in awe of guitarist Jeremiah Sweet that he stopped what he was doing to really listen and watch.  All of the Hard Rock employees were very impressed and we heard many times that this was “one of the best bands” they have heard.

Parts Of A USCG Approved Survival Suit

Here is a survival suit which can keep a person alive for days at sea in the winter as opposed to 5 minutes in the ocean without one in the winter.

I added labels to show all the different parts of the survival suit.  I think everything is pretty self explanatory except maybe the wax which is used to keep the zipper working well.   If you can’t get into the survival suit because the zipper is frozen then it’s not doing you much good now is it?  The survival suit should always be stored with the zipper in the down position.  Seconds are critical when you hit 30 degree water and not having to fidget with a stuck or zipper that wont unzip could cost a fisherman their life.
