Practical Boat Owner

September 21st, 2009 by admin Leave a reply »

I don’t subscribe to any magazines because I never know where I’m going to be when I want to read it, but almost every month I make sure I pick up a copy of Practical Boat Owner.

This month it was looking like I’d miss my monthly dose of boating updates due to a lack of magazine purchasing power. However, I got paid today so this evening popped to Tesco to pick up a copy. As I thumbed through the magazine in the store, I had quite a surprise. On page 99, there’s a picture of yours truly, along with 200 of my finger crafted words.

A while back, PBO asked me to review Kayospruce air mat, a marine bedding system. I wrote the requested 200 hundred words and took a few snaps. It’s quite hard to photograph yourself with an SLR since I couldn’t get the focus as I wanted, but they apparently were just about good enough. I’ll let you read the review yourselves.

So, there you go, another 15 minutes of fame on page 99 of PBO :)

    Excellent,
    You think they’d send you a free copy if you had an article published though wouldn’t you?????

    Nath, now I know you get PBO regularly, I’ll happily send you a copy mate, if you want :-)

    As in, each month going forward – as you have the current one obviously :-)

    If you don’t know where you are going to be, subscribe via Zinio then you can download the mag each month. Cheaper than buying from a newstand but not quite as satisfying to read on screen as on paper.

    You also got a mention in the article about windfarms. Complaining about having to go around them!
