1. Why is the toilet on a boat called a head? (Find today’s answers online.) 2. How many of the roughly 200 nations of the world do not border an ocean or sea? 30, 75, 120, 165? Yesterday’s answers; 1. Port is the left side of a ship; starboard the right. In Old England, the starboard was the steering paddle or rudder, and ships were always steered from the right side on the back of the vessel. The word port means the opening in the left side of the ship from which cargo was unloaded.

SeaKeepers honors Prince Albert II By Lucy Chabot Reed In a quiet ceremony overlooking the 20th annual Monaco Yacht Show, punctuated by the blaring of the Queen Mary 2’s horns, H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco received the 2010 SeaKeepers Award for his work bringing awareness to the protection of the world’s oceans. “I’m touched and honored by this award,” he said when the horns quieted. “With your help, let’s try to keep caring about our seas and our oceans. It’s vitally important for each and every one of us.” The International SeaKeepers Society was started 13 years ago by a group of American yacht owners who wanted to
do something about the deteriorating condition of the oceans. The first mission was to create and install monitoring systems aboard their yachts. Now the society has expanded to actively engage in scientific issues around the globe, including the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. “You can have a canoe and be a sea keeper,” said Michael Moore, chairman of the board of the society. “We want to get more people involved, more people in Europe, more crew around the world. It’s for all of us.” Lucy Chabot Reed is editor of The Triton. Comments are welcome at lucy@ the-triton.com.

STAYING DRY: Crew handle the intermittent rain
It happens every year, doesn’t it? Rain briefly interrupted the show yesterday, keeping crew busy with chamois cloths, mops and cushion patrol. And we finally found the most interesting uniform of the show, this fellow of M/Y Necklace II, bottom left. PHOTOS/DAVID REED

CHECKING THE TIDE: Triton Today’s Question of the Day
So what’s next for scores of yachts? With what may just be the largest collection of megayachts the industry has ever seen – with 100 megayachts in the same marina while scores more are anchored just offshore – we were curious to know where everyone was going after the show ends today. We even included a few boats in the harbor. The most common place was back to their home port here in the Med to wait. More than a fifth were headed to their yard period, and about 17 percent were headed across the pond too the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show. – Lucy Reed
Where you going after the show? Owner’s trip – Caribbean 11.1% Home dock – 27.8% – 11.1% Not sure – 11.1% To the yard – FLIBS – 16.7% 22.2%
