World of Geology

So what do Rocks, Minerals and Geology have to do with sailing and boating you may ask? Well, have you ever run aground? or Hit bottom? If your lucky that unfortunate grounding may be on a bottom that is mud or sand. If your not lucky, that bottom you are now finding yourself upon, may be a reef or covered with rock. In either case, that ground you hit, that muddy bottom or that rock or reef which punched a hole in your boat's bottom was created through geologic processes.

The portholes on this page will provide you some light into Geology so that perhaps next time you can avoid that needless hole in the bottom of your boat .
