We have a winner of our Discover Maritime News iPhone contest. Congratulations go to Kiran, known to gCaptain as BoatsRule. Kiran is a Software Engineer in the Bay Area and a self proclaimed boating enthusiast. He tells us:
I’m from San Francisco and enjoy all the great boating experiences
that the Bay Area has to offer. I’m looking forward to integrating
the iPhone into my boating life and, of course, watching Youtube on
it!
Best of luck and thanks to all the contestants. Runners up where Peter Mello of Sea Fever and Richard Rodriguez of Bitter End…. both are great writers of maritime content so head over to their sites and look around.
(Kiran… we’ll mail out the iPhone tomorrow, promise)
