"Flotsam" and "jetsam" are nautical terms that respectively describe the miscellany that one often finds either floating adrift at sea or washed ashore. In this spirit, this web page contains material that we couldn't seem to batten down or stow elsewhere aboard our website. (Since we do our best to keep the bilge clean, the following material seemed to fit here.)

If you have any favorite boating links that you would like to have added . . . or have suggestions for including other material on this page that you think others would find interesting and useful, please email the webmaster. All suggestions welcome!
