With the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show literally a couple of days away, it seems a far cry from where we were just a short 12 months ago.

And with the restrictions on overseas travel still in place means Australians are still looking local for their holidays and recreational needs and boating, along with camping and caravanning, is booming, which augers well for our local marine industry.

And our local manufacturers are rising to the challenge with a raft of new models and innovations, and debuts planned, with many being announced at the Sanctuary Cove Show.

But Sanctuary Cove is not the only thing going on around the country, in this edition we've got another round-up of whats making news in the marine world, so, as we say each time, sit back, browse through and enjoy the read.
 
Cheers, see you out on the water
