Two new Golden Shellback items today. Above is a recent photo of Inventor Sid Martin with the equipment used to apply the coating and at the bottom of this post you’ll find a recent audio interview with the guys at Blackberry Cool. For those new to this blog, Golden Shellback is an amazing new technology created by Northeast Maritime Institute that protects electronics that are exposed to water. We first saw this technology when our parent company, Unofficial Networks, visited the Institute’s headquarters in Fairhaven Mass to build the school a new website. After convincing them to tape a video for gCaptain and subsiquently arranging a visit to the Today Show, UN was asked to help market and sell the product. It’s been a whirlwind of activity ever since.
If your interested in more information be sure to visit the website, watch the videos, subscribe to the Golden Shellback newsletter and follow Sid’s daily updates on Twitter. You can also listen to the recent podcast with Sid by clicking on the audio player below but be sure to visit Blackberry Cool for the show notes.
Captain John Konrad is co-founder of Unofficial Networks and Editor In Chief of this blog. He is a USCG licensed Master Mariner of Unlimited Tonnage and, since graduating from SUNY Maritime College, has sailed a variety of ships from ports around the world.
He currently lives in Morro Bay, California with his wife and two children.

I am keen on getting this product-tell me where and how.
In fact better still, I want to become an agent or distributor or whatever-you-call-it.

You have a typo of 'your'. It should be 'you're'.
