Great show with Saltwater-Recon.com President/CEO Urs Schmid as we went almost an hour long and covered everything from a deep dive into the brand behind "Know Before You Go!" offering real-time coastal conditions with a mighty impressive array of live, high definition, interactive web cameras along with expert boating, fishing and weather content aimed at giving visitors the information needed to plan a safe and successful day on the water. We hit on the origin of Saltwater-Recon.com and what the future holds for the state’s largest provider of coastal web cameras. We talked boat shows, boat races, fishing, sailing, Galveston Island and even went off topic into craft beer and liquor laws (while sampling Galveston Island Brewing and Jameson). But possibly the most interesting part off the show was an informative conversation about Galveston’s very underrated Seawolf Park and specifically the Galveston Naval Museum. The museum features one of only three destroyer escorts in the world, the USS Stewart, the remains of the tanker S.S. Selma, the largest concrete ship ever constructed and the a WWII submarine, USS Cavalla, best known for sinking the 30,000 ton Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku (veteran of Pearl Harbor and Battle of Coral Sea) on her maiden patrol which earned her the Presidential Unit Citation. Schmidt, a board member at the Galveston Naval Museum, even invited us to do a future episode of 'Weekends On the Water' LIVE from the historic Gato class submarine which we look forward to.
