Cruising is always an adventure, but Nancy has taken it to new heights – sailing and writing about cruising on tall ships, eco-adventure sailing and destination travel articles. Her love of sailing has now combined with her “inner geek,” to produce “iTapTouch, LLC” – the first mobile app development company dedicated to the Marine Industry.

The April general meeting is shaping up to be extra special as Nancy has put together an incredible collection of raffle prizes including codes to download free mobile apps, charting software programs, iPhone & iPad cases, Online Sail Training Courses, 12V USB power adapters and more! All proceeds from the raffle will go to the HISC Youth Sailing Program. A Big Thank YOU (!) to all the Developers and Vendors for their incredible generosity in donations.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, stranded abroad by the volcanic ash cloud, has discovered a new tool for governing remotely: Apple’s iPad.

iPad runs Norway

Norwegian iPad!

Trude Maaseide, a spokeswoman for the prime minister, told The Associated Press that Stoltenberg began using his newly purchased iPad for the apparently novel purpose while stuck in New York on Thursday, after his return flight was canceled.

“When we were in the U.S., it was one of several tools that he used to keep in touch with the office back in Norway, to do his work,” Maaseide said.

She spoke Friday from Basel, Switzerland, where the prime minister was gradually making his way back to Oslo after catching an overnight flight to Madrid.

Most airspace over northern Europe remained closed Friday evening, and Maaseide said it was unclear how and when the prime minister would return to Norway.

“We’re taking it step by step and judging which route is the most effective, safe and dependable,” she said.
