Independent Operational Support for Mega Yachts in the Mediterranean

We see ourselves as link between the yacht and all services the yacht might require, like shipyards, agencies, suppliers, technicians etc. and we work completely independent on the side of the yacht.  If you are new to the Mediterranean we will organize absolutely everything you might require for a minimal fee.

We specialize in the TECHNICAL CONSULTING & COMPLETE ASSISTANCE for yachts which travel the Mediterranean Sea and will organize absolutely everything, from the sourcing of spare parts to repairs of any kind, the organization for maintenance and complete refits, but we are not a substitute for a Yacht Management company. We will also help with voyage planning and through our vast network of trusted yacht agencies, provisioning companies and spare part suppliers we are able to make your cruises in the Mediterranean Sea as trouble free as possible.

We provide a single contact point to obtain expert advice and customized assistance for all yachting requirements in the Mediterranean Sea. The overall running cost of a yacht can be significantly reduced due to our established relations with suppliers, technicians, repair shops, shipyards and the centralized purchasing of spare parts and equipment. Our network partners are sure to speak the language of the country your yacht is cruising in and will have the local knowledge and contacts to solve the various problems that arise.

Please visit www.blueseayachts.com for detailed information.

BlueSeaYachts.com will also be the newest member of our Blog Roll here on Blog.MarineTelecom.net - having actually met Captain Heinz W. Krodel onboard a yacht (of which he was the Master / Captain) I personally vouch for him as a good and professional person - and highly recommend his services.

Amateur Radio Contact, Grey Line Propagation, Transequatorial … 10 Meters - Argentia

http://www.qrz.com/db/lu5ft - contact on 10 meters 28.390 Mhz.

We just had sunset here in S. Florida … The Grey Line is interesting … this contact is Transequatorial as well and around 4265.0 mi. If you take the azimuth (direction or bearing) and distance and swing that over across the United States it would reach way west into the Pacific Ocean and almost to Hawaii. So CORREA (SF) Argentina is a pretty good contact. Similarly going east this distance would get us into Africa or well on the way to entering the Mediterranean Sea areas.

Also just worked KE6TT in Highland, California on 17 Meters - 18.136 Mhz … near San Bernardino.

Notice the line between daylight and darkness runs through South Florida and also through the contacts location in Argentina

And the conact is Transequatorial because it passes over the equator
