Article first published in AHCP Voice Autumn 2015 Edition
Laundry is an indispensable support service for patient care in any healthcare facility, which must be undertaken to meet strict standards to prevent cross-contamination and the spread of infection from one patient to another through re-usable linens. Manufacturers supplying equipment, services and products continue to innovate to address the key challenges for laundry operations within healthcare. Voice investigates.
Top of the list of challenges is infection control, which remains a key clinical priority for hospitals and healthcare organisations.
Commercial and industrial laundry specialist JLA explains that its ground-breaking natural ozone disinfection system, OTEX, has revolutionised the way hospitals and other hygiene-focused commercial organisations do their laundry. Developed by its own internationally acknowledged technicians, chemists and infection control experts, OTEX disinfects more effectively than any conventional thermal alternative, killing 99.999% of harmful micro-organisms such as MRSA, E.Coli, Norovirus and C.diff spores.
Commenting on OTEX, the Department of Health's Rapid Review Panel, set up to identify new developments to help the NHS combat high levels of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs), states: "Evidence shows that it is more effective in decontamination than current laundry systems."
JLA's OTEX ozone disinfection technology helps operatives to maintain infection control standards by ensuring all laundry is completely disinfected, while sophisticated laundry monitoring and reporting tools allow validation of washes to aid with CFPP01-04 regulation compliance, as well as HACCP, environmental health and other guidelines. OTEX is available with a verifi cation unit which monitors the amount of ozone being injected into the wash process and provides a printed 'receipt', verifying that the process criteria has been met and confirming the cycle has achieved disinfection.
The pressure to cut costs and achieve greater energy efficiencies often sit hand-in-hand and laundry is no exception.
OTEX uses less water on every cycle and is effective at low temperatures so there is a lesser requirement for heating, therefore it also helps to reduce water and energy bills.
Diversey Care has products that offer disinfection against pathogens at lower temperatures which helps to reduce energy costs. A good example of this is Horizon Bright which kills MRSA bacteria at 40oC (passing EN1276) and C.diff spores at 60oC (passing EN13704).
Diversey Care also offers a portfolio of products with excellent disinfection performance that can be used on a wide range of fabrics, enabling laundries to remain compliant with NHS guidelines.
Another innovation from JLA is the SMART Wash range. SMART technology includes features such as JLA Sense, which allows users to achieve optimum efficiency while ensuring the best wash quality. By measuring the absorbency of the load the washer automatically uses the correct amount of water and detergent for the individual load to ensure that cleaning is effective whilst optimising resources.
Other features of the SMART Wash range include thermal disinfection cycles and sluice programmes, with auto-audit and USB functionality which allows users to view and retrieve wash data for auditing purposes. This accurate, automatic digital traceability aids compliance with regulations such as CFPP01-04 and also demonstrates 'best practice' approach.
Diversey Care stresses the importance of efficient configuration of equipment and proper use of dosing/dilution control systems to optimise machine performance for reduced water consumption. Proper installation and regular routine checks/maintenance will help to prevent equipment downtime and leakages that lead to inefficiency and waste. Correct formulation - for example for local water hardness - promotes machine efficiency and reliability by reducing the build-up of limescale.
The latest dilution control systems ensure automatic and accurate use of laundry products to optimise performance with no wastage. Use of automated product control also removes the risk of human error.
Diversey Care offers a range of support and consulting services in its aquaCheck programme to help healthcare on-premises laundries to achieve the best possible results. Whilst controlling costs is important, so is the need to maintain high standards and service levels at all times. Healthcare providers need confidence in the reliability of the equipment and the back-up service provided in the event of a
JLA has developed its zero capital outlay Total Care solution to bring together its award-winning machine supply, fi rst-class engineer response and 24/7 support in a single package. Total Care customers can enjoy complete peace of mind for a simple monthly payment, free themselves of the hassle and inconvenience that can come with maintaining commercial equipment, and ensure critical areas of their business are kept running smoothly.
Customers opting for the Total Care package benefit from market-leading machines with nothing to pay upfront, fully inclusive breakdown cover with no wear and tear clause, 7-day call-out service, including bank holidays, no repair bills or call-out charges to pay and a guaranteed 8-working hour engineer response, or JLA will pay £100.
The barrier system of washing is one of the most significant evolutions in hospital and healthcare laundry equipment, helping operatives to maintain infection control standards and prevent cross contamination between dirty and clean.
JLA's barrier washer range is designed to prevent cross contamination while achieving premium wash quality, by using a special 'dualdoor' system to process laundry. Installed into a physical wall, these large-scale 'true passthrough' washers provide physical separation of loading dirty linen and unloading clean disinfected work, reducing the risk of cross contamination between clean and dirty laundry.
The smallest footprint required for JLA's MB26 (26kg barrier washer) is approximately 2.8 metres by 1.1 metres and there are even smaller systems available from other manufacturers, but even these relatively small spaces may be too much for some sites. If the laundry room is not big enough for the installation of a barrier system, the best advice is a good layout with clearly segregated areas for dirty and clean working and provision for hand hygiene.
JLA advises on the pros and cons of two standard methods of laundering hospital linen to achieve the required levels of disinfection.
The pros of ozone disinfection:
More effective than thermal disinfection and traditional chlorine chemical disinfectants
Protects fabrics and increases the longevity of the linen
Does not require any harsh chemicals or bleaching agents
Temperature is not required for disinfection - effective at ambient temperatures or cold water
Allows disinfection to be carried out on fabrics which wouldn't normally survive high temperatures or chlorine
Shorter cycle times, uses less water and energy, thus reducing carbon footprint and utility costs.
The cons of ozone disinfection:
Ozone may produce a slight odour so it requires room ventilation
Designed to work on commercial laundry equipment.
The pros of thermal disinfection:
Traditionally considered to be adequate for most healthcare linen
It is a simple procedure.
The cons of thermal disinfection:
Not effective on heat sensitive bacteria such as E Coli 0157
Spore forming bacteria such as Bacillus and C.diff are highly resistant to heat
Certain fabrics are sensitive to heat and would not survive high temperature washing
Cycle times may be impractical, particularly if water supply is poor or there is no provision for hot water.
Diversey Care comments on the pros and cons of operating an in-house laundry facility as opposed to outsourcing.
The pros of in-house
User retains (or regains) control over processes which are often considered a core/ essential part of their operation
Self-contained operation removes potential risks associated with sending/receiving items to an offsite operation
Faster turnaround of linen
Hospital retains ownership of linen and processes
May support closer integration of laundry processes with other aspects of operation, especially infection prevention
Can reduce costs
The cons of in-house
Requires space
Requires investment in infrastructure and equipment
Additional or specialist staff may be required
Staff recruitment, training and development will be necessary
Reduced access to specialist services provided by outsourced facilities
Laundry services provider, Berendsen, has released a handy new guide that is designed to explain and simplify common 'linen lingo' for procurement and housekeeping teams.
With linen terminology including such lingo as Damask, Percale, Jacquard, GSM, Thread Count and Sateen, sourcing and purchasing the correct linen to meet requirements can be confusing and complex.
The new guide from Berendsen recognises these difficulties and provides procurement and housekeeping teams with all the information they need to understand common linen terminology, helping them to ensure they order the correct linen for their needs.
"With such a broad range of textile products on offer at Berendsen we understand how complex and confusing linen lingo can be. This handy new guide has been produced to help members of staff better understand terms they may come across day-to-day," says Paul Swift, Business Development Manager at Berendsen.
"The guide features the most important and frequently used terminology including various product and fabric types. Using this guide procurement teams and housekeeping teams can minimise errors resulting from misunderstanding linen lingo."

The reason for making a formal complaint about a mistake which viewed in isolation might be seen as relatively trivial was two fold. Firstly it wasn't an isolated mistake, there has been a long history of confusion by the police between Bonkers and You've been Cromwelled but more importantly C.I. Gowen's department had informed me only a few days earlier that complaints are investigated on the basis of what a reasonable person might expect and went on to say that a police officer at Bexleyheath police station could not be located in six whole months of searching and because of that a complaint could not be entertained! Not what a reasonable person would expect. That reasonable person might also expect a couple of words of apology for what was in effect libel. There was no answer from the head of Bexleyheath police's Professional Standards Unit. I did not consider that yet another lapse should be overlooked.
Dear all,
Please see the following recent news stories for your information and onward transmission as you deem appropriate
Bexley is Bonkers
XXXX XXXXX aka Ollie Cromwell who used his blog to abuse councillors and local authority staff in recent months has been charged with offences of Harassment under Prevention of Harassment Act and is to appear at Bexley magistrates court on 7th November 2011.
Tony Gowen
Partnership/CJU/CMU/ Professional Standards Chief Inspector
Bexley Borough (RY) Bexleyheath Police Station
2 Arnsberg Way,
Dear Chief Inspector Gowen,
It has been brought to my attention that you circulated to a wide audience under the heading 'Bexley is Bonkers' news of charges made under the Prevention of Harassment Act. I have reason to believe that Bexleyheath police have made this mistake before.
Can you provide me with any reason why I should not report you to the Directorate of Professional Services?
Your sincerely,

Eggs can be considered as a popular food in every corner of the world. The availability of eggs can be considered as the main reason behind the popularity of eggs. Medical experts consider eggs as a food which can give plenty of benefits to the health of a person. They can offer a large amount of protein, calcium and vitamins to a human being. People can also consume eggs to increase their energy as it supplies with a large amount of calories.
Unfortunately eggs are associated with some health issues too. They can create adverse effects to the human body like cholesterol and diabetes. Therefore it is not recommended for a person to consume too many eggs per day. According to the researches, it has been identified that a moderate consumption of eggs can lead the life of an individual on a healthy path. It is difficult to tell the exact amount of eggs that a person should consume daily. The ideal amount can vary according to several reasons, like heath history, activity level and sex. Therefore it is better to go to your family doctor and ask for his recommendation to consume the ideal amount of eggs needed for a day.
Eggs can offer some important vitamins and minerals needed for the human body. The calorie amount of an egg will vary according to its preparation method as well. A large hard-boiled egg will have an average amount of 78 calories in it. However, it can offer 6.29g of protein, 0.59g of iron, 25mg of calcium, and 112.7 mcg of choline. The cholesterol that can be found in human beings can be divided into two categories as HDL and LDL. If you have a low amount of HDL and a high amount of LDL, you will be vulnerable to heart diseases and strokes. A large hard-boiled egg will have 212mg of cholesterol in it. Therefore people should consume eggs with some extra care by keeping this in mind. Researches have also observed that there is a connection between eggs and diabetes. However, this cannot be seen in all the people who consume eggs. So, experts predict that this will happen because of an issue in the genes of a human being.
Many people doubt about the exact amount of eggs that they should consume on a day. That differs from person to person. Factors like age, weight, activity level, Sex, daily calorie intake and dietary habits are some of the key factors which determine the number of eggs that a person should eat per a day. Your family doctor can observe your body and tell you the number of eggs you can consume per a day. Always consume the advised amount in order to live a healthy life without any issues.

A four-day housing and real estate fair is scheduled to begin at Radisson Blu Bay View Hotel in Chittagong tomorrow to promote sales of affordable flats and plots for the customers.
The Chittagong chapter of Real Estate and Housing Association of Bangladesh (REHAB) is organising the fair for the 10th time in the county's premier port city.

Maximizing the uptime of revenue-generating equipment is a critical goal for all industrial companies. Failures can cost thousands of dollars in unplanned downtime and related warranty and service costs, in addition to frustrating customers. False positive alerts from equipment sensors can also drive up service expenses when technicians and trucks are deployed to find that no problem exists. Using sophisticated data analytics, these problems can be predicted and resolved before they occur, virtually eliminating unplanned downtime and reducing false positives up to 25%.
Bsquare can identify probable failures by looking at the historical behavior of assets in similar operating environments. The system recommends and can automate specific corrective actions to head off potentially disastrous equipment failure. Reactive servicing due to equipment failure or time-based servicing can result in over- or under-serviced equipment. Data-driven service plans streamline repair processes and technician roles for improved operational efficiencies and reduced service costs. And, the elimination of unplanned downtime keeps revenue flowing and customers happy.

I was very lucky to have such a good person with me, someone who said just the right thing at the right time. Words that kept me grounded & brought me back to where we were - right in the middle of the most beautiful woods imaginable, surrounded by a riot of color. No more fitting a place to honor my father's passing - could I have found. Charlotte offered to turn-back, but we'd driven a long way & there was nothing that would change. I made calls to my family - then we rode on.

Pages: 432
Princess the Destroyer is a carnivorous unicorn that is determined to find Max Spencer so that she can be given free rein to eat all of the humans in Texas. Max Spencer is a seventh grader who might not be smart or popular, but he is the heir of a powerful sorcerer and so is the only person who can read the Codex of Infinite Knowability. Max accidentally transports himself and his friends to a future where the humans have all been eaten by Princess the Destroyer. After making friends with the frobbits, some of the last friendly survivors on earth, Max and his friends have to defeat Princess and her legions of robots to save their lives and the last of humankind.
While the idea behind the book is fun, many of the ideas are not executed well. The book is clever with its plays on fantasy tropes, but too many plot lines are forgotten in the favor of too many gags. There is enough humor to prompt a few chuckles, but many of the jokes are likely to go over the heads of the book's target audience. The characters have little depth and are not very interesting, often using stereotypes to create character. The ending is highly dependent on waiting for the next book to explain things. The humor may keep some people entertained, but the overall impact of the book is not as high as it could have been.

We have already had snow in late April so I believe there will be good falls for all the families that enjoy skiing and snowboarding.

I decided to use Kaiser gel pens on the chipboard to give them a sparkling effect like the puffy title stickers.

Archie Comic Publication Inc a Newyork based company own the Archie,"THE ARCHIES", "THE NEW ARCHIES", "LITTLE ARCHIES", "ARCHIES COMICS" etc. they are using the Archie since 1942 all over the world including India. Archies Comic publication Inc had applied for the registration of trademark "Archie and Heads "in class 16 (Paper, printed matter, bookbinding material, photographs, artists' materials etc.) and were using the said mark in India since 1979.
Purple Creation Pvt. Limited, is a Mumbai based firm using the trademark 'ARCHIES and device', 'PURPLE ARCHIE' and 'ARCHIES' since 2004, and applications filed in class 25 (Clothing, footwear, headgear) bearing application Nos. 597802, 846978, 1062578 and 1222947, has been published in trademark journal. Purple Creation is involved in the business of manufacturing and selling kids wear under the said trademark.
Archie Comic Publication Inc had filed a suit in Delhi High Court for permanent injunction, infringement of trademark, damages, etc. against the respondent claiming to be engaged in the field of printing matter, comics magazine, cartoon strips, story book etc.
Arguments by Appellant:
1. Archies comics were imported in to India and an invoice issued by appellant to Variety Book Depot, New Delhi dated 8th May, 1979, and so based on this claim appellant carries his business in Delhi since 1979.
2.Repondant had advertised their product under the trademark "Archies" in news paper including Delhi edition and they have their website which can be accessible from anywhere in India including Delhi, thus they infringe the trademark.
3. According to the section 134 of the Trademarks Act, 1999 the appellant actually and voluntarily carries on business or personally work for gain at Delhi, it is entitled to institute a suit.
Arguments by Respondent:
1. Learned Judge did not have the territorial jurisdiction to entertain the said matter, and when the court has no jurisdiction over the subject matter of the suit, the order passed would be nullity. Neither consent nor waiver or acquiescence can confer jurisdiction upon a court otherwise incompetent to try the Suit.
Points on which decision relies:
1. Variety bookstore cannot be considered as the special agent of the appellant to satisfy the conditions of carries on business.
2. An advertisement by itself in journal or paper wouldn't confer jurisdiction upon the court.
3. According to Section 134 of the Trademarks Act, 1999 the plaintiff can file a suit at the place where he "carries on business or personally work for gain". In this case appellant does not have any registered office in India much less in Delhi.
4. Neither the appellant nor respondent carries his work or personally work for gain at Delhi.
The Decision: A division bench of Justice Mukta Gupta and Justice Vikramjit Sen, said that "this court has no territorial jurisdiction to entertain the plaint". See the judgment in detail here. This decision was given on 10th September, 2010. Readers can see the earlier decision on the same case here. Even though the Archie have the prior use of trademark then also the decision was not in their favour. In this case the territorial jurisdiction played a vital role. The decision would have got a turning point if the New York based firm had any registered office in India or their arguments & evidence had made capable to satisfy the conditions of carries on business in India.

The script for our not for profit fan film, "Batman: The Exorcism of Bruce Wayne", is now complete and in the hands of the cast and crew.
I'm hugely excited by the script – it was immense fun to write. Playing in my ersatz DC toybox has been slightly addictive and the toughest thing about completing this script was accepting that it did have to end.
Hopefully BTEOBW will be a success and I'll take a trip back into my Gotham some time soon.
For now it's a waiting game as the cast begin working of their performances, and the script hasn't pulled any punches in what it asks of them, and the crew begin assembling the real world versions of the things in my head.
Right now I've seen costumes, some props, and the fight team have been hard at work turning our actors into fighters so that they can deliver the action sequences in the way that we want.
It's a long road to Gotham yet, but I'm still loving every step.

Background & Aims of the Study: Due to the rapid industrial development in Khuzestan province of Iran during recent years, this study was performed to analyze the variation of metals concentrations (Mg, Mn, Ni, and Sn) in soil samples of Ahvaz II Industrial estate during the spring season of 2013.
Materials & Methods: In this experimental study, 27 topsoil samples were collected from nine stations. The intensity of the soil contamination was evaluated, using a contamination factor (Cf) and geo-accumulation index (I-geo).
Results: The mean soil concentrations (in mg kg-1 (dry weight)) were in ranged within 870-1144 (Mg), 188-300 (Mn), 93-199 (Ni) and 9-15 (Sn). The data indicated that the I-geo value for all metals falls in class '1'. Also the Cf value for Mg and Mn falls in class '0', the Cf value for Sn falls in class '1' and the Cf value for Ni falls in the classes of '1' and '2'. The result of the Pearson correlation showed that there were significant positive associations between all metals.
Conclusions: According to the results which were achieved by a cluster analysis, there were significant positive associations among all metals based on Pearson correlation coefficient, especially between Ni and Sn; also both of them with Mn. Because the Ni originates from oil sources it can be resulted that Mn and Sn originate from oil sources, too. Therefore, industrial activities and exploitation of oil reservoirs are the main cause of pollution in that area. Also, it can be concluded that, with increasing the distance from the source of pollution, the accumulation of contaminants in the soil samples decreased.

While I always admired the craft of Ernie Bushmiller's NANCY strip, I wouldn't exactly call myself a fan.┬Ā There was a sturdiness in the way he so precisely arranged the minimalist elements of his strip to draw the eye through it and land on the gag, but that sort of thing has greatly diminishing returns.┬Ā The characters of Nancy, Sluggo and Aunt Fritzi were less people than iconic joke-delivery systems.┬Ā When John Stanley wrote and laid out comic-book versions of this trio, he not only attached plots to the characters, he fleshed out these icons so as to make them more versatile for different kinds of stories and gags.┬Ā It's as though he laid the Nancy characters on top of a LITTLE LULU template (his most famous, durable work) to see how things would play out.
By turns, Nancy is a schemer, a tomboy, an adventurer, a girly-girl, a fiercely loyal friend, an opportunist, a hard worker and a malingerer.┬Ā Sluggo's threadbare lifestyle and fear of neighborhood bully Spike is used to build gag upon gag in individual stories, a screwball Stanley trademark.┬Ā┬ĀNancy & Sluggo┬Āmake great straight men for Stanley characters Oona Goosepimple and Rollo Haveall.┬Ā Goosepimple seems borrowed from his Melvin Monster stories by way of Charles Addams: a spooky little girl who lives in a creepy & dangerous house with her grandmother.┬Ā Oona is a marvelously-designed character, with wide cat eyes, pigtails and a doll with two heads.┬Ā Oona's nature as an innocent living in an environment of menace makes her a great match for Nancy, who is constantly aware of the danger but too friendly to simply put her off.
Rollo is a boy who is so incredibly rich that he's simply bored with it all, making him Sluggo's polar opposite.┬Ā In "Substitute Player", Sluggo is hired to be Rollo's playmate.┬Ā Rollo is bored by Sluggo and tries to get him into all sorts of peril, but each attempt backfires and gets Rollo knocked down, beaten up by girls, attacked by bees and punched in the face by Spike.┬Ā It's typical Stanley repeated variations on a theme, piling on joke after joke before building to a punchline.┬Ā That's what really distinguishes Stanley's work from Bushmiller's: there's only a single humor point in a Bushmiller strip, whereas Stanley understands that in a longer story, every single panel needs to have either a funny drawing, a setup for a joke or a punchline for a joke.
The finished art here is by Dan Gormley, and it lacked the sheer geometric simplicity of a Stanley-drawn comic.┬Ā Of course, the characters needed to look like Bushmiller's hand to a large degree, so I'm not sure Stanley would have made sense as a finisher.┬Ā As a result, this is a comic that's better to read than to look at, and that's "read" in the sense of not just reading the words, but reading page and panel design.┬Ā The Little Lulu influence really shines through in the dialogue for Nancy, as she's a much bigger smartass than her newspaper incarnation.┬Ā In a one-page strip where Aunt Fritzi forces Nancy to see a concert by a Liberace-type pianist, she issues┬Ā a stream of impertinent bon mots culminating in a suggestion that the pianist be hanged instead of his instrument.┬Ā It's a strip that highlights the fact that this book is all about Stanley the writer, making it slightly less interesting than MELVIN MONSTER or the upcoming THIRTEEN.

Tips to Remove Makeup
Category : Beauty Tip , Today's Tip
Makeup is the need of every women. All women or girls like to do makeup when go outside for job or in a party. Most of women use waterproof makeup and other uses non waterproof makeup. At the day end, before going to sleep removal of makeup is necessary for healthy skin. If you will sleep with makeup, it will clog your skin pores and cause acne or inflammation on your skin. Here I am telling you tips to remove makeup easily. First you need to remove your base. Take a small portion of cleanser or cold cream in your palm and massage your face gently.
Cleanser will easily remove makeup from your face. If you use waterproof eye-shade on your eyes then it's difficult to remove with face wash or soap. For this take a cotton ball and apply Vaseline or petroleum jelly on cotton ball. Rub this cotton ball on your both eyes and remove eye-shades. To remove lipstick apply a small portion of cleanser on damp cotton ball and rub it on your lips inward direction. After removing makeup wash your face with gentle face wash or soap and pat dry. Make sure that you apply moisturizer on your skin before sleeping.

"Death be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so,"
– John Donne "Death Be Not Proud" ("Holy Sonnet X")
"Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?"
– 1 Corinthians 15:55
Oh, but death does sting.
"Sting" is an understatement.
Some days, death rips into our souls with such shocking savagery that we can barely whisper, "Where, O death, is your sting."
Some days, death is a cataract, dimming the victory of the cross.
"Death reveals that the world is not as it should be but that it stands in need of redemption."
– Dietrich Bonhoeffer
But, thank God for those moments of grace, glimpses of that unfathomable peace.
Thank God for those days when He gives us the strength to shout, "Where, O death, is your sting?".
Thank God for the days when even death can point us to the cross.
"And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die." – Donne

Chincoteague is uniquely situated to offer a wide array activities. Chincoteague Island lies right next door to Assateague Island, with the only publicly accessible beach between Ocean City, MD. and Virginia Beach, VA. Scroll down to view the wide array of activities available on Chincoteague Island.
Click here to read about 'Things To Do' in our Chincoteague Travel Blog.
Assateague Island is the home of the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. Assateague Island offers a pristine public beach and incredible outdoor recreational opportunities.
Click here to view the Assateague Island Activities page.
Chincoteague offers a great place to take off with a bike or walk. Everything is close and has the perfect blend of small town and wilderness. Many of the roads on Chincoteague have sidewalks. The Chincoteague Bicycling Advisory Committee is taking great strides towards enhancing the recreational experience of the bicycling public on Chincoteague Island. Hiking and Biking on Assateague Island offers many views of nature that you would not see anywhere else. There are 15 miles of trails that wind through the marshes and forests and including a path to the Assateague Lighthouse.
Chincoteague offers a fantastic, paved nature trail on Hallie Whealton Smith Drive, which is located off of North Main Street, near Chincoteague High School. The Island Nature Trail is located along both sides of Hallie Whealton Smith Drive. The land where the trail is located represents some of last large tracts of undeveloped land on Chincoteague. The trail is a place where you can see wildlife in its natural habitat and it provides a safe haven for people to walk, run, ride their bike, bird-watch, or just enjoy the natural side of Chincoteague.

Boating is one of the more enjoyable pastimes on Chincoteague. If your interests are fishing, water-skiing, or just wanting to enjoy the water on a peaceful summers evening, the options are here for you to use your own boat or rent one. With the purchase of a City Boat Sticker, anyone wishing to put in their own boat will have access to 3 Town supported public boat ramps. Boat ramp stickers can be purchased at the Town Office, Police Station, and from the Harbormaster. Guided scenic/nature boat tours are also available.
A boat tour is a must do activity for your Chincoteague Island vacation! You will gain a perspective of the area that is not achievable any other way.
Most of the tour boat companies offer "Scenic Nature Cruises" that will allow you experience the abundant wildlife and unspoiled nature of Chincoteague and Assateague Islands. Wild Ponies, Dolphins, Bald Eagles, and Sunsets over the Bay are just a few of the highlights you'll have a chance to experience on a Scenic Nature Cruise.
A couple of the tour boat companies offer specialized tours, such as a Pirate Ship adventure and hands-on Marine Ecology tour. Click here for a complete list of Chincoteague Island Tour Boat Companies.
Crabbing on Assateague and Chincoteague Islands is one of the favorite pastimes for both the local residents and visitors alike. The preferred method for crabbing is with a net and baited line. All of the needed materials can be purchased at any local fishing shop, or hardware store. Most people like to use old pieces of raw chicken, tied to a line with a weight, sitting at the bottom of the water. The crabs will try to catch the bait and are lured into your waiting crab net. Cook the crabs by steaming them in a large crab pot with a generous amount of Old Bay Seasoning, and you can enjoy one of the Eastern Shores most famous delicacy. The size restrictions and limits in Virginia are enforced as a conservation measure. Crabs must measure 5" from back shell point-to-point.
Clamming is another water pastime that is also plentiful on the Eastern Shore. The favored method is raking while wadding in generally shallow water. The best times being during the low tides. Another way is walking in the sand at low tide and 'signing' them. That means looking for the little keyhole indentations in the sand. By digging just under the surface of the sand, you will find the clams. Some of the Scenic Tour Boats offer clamming excursions.
Tangier Island Cruises
Chart a course back in time to the small, picturesque island of Tangier. Once visited by John Smith in 1608, the island has changed little since it was first settled by John Crockett in 1686. See the beautiful scenery of the Chesapeake Bay and Tangier Sound aboard a 90' luxury vessel, the Steven Thomas, while you listen to the history of Tangier and other islands namely Fox Island, Watts Island, and Port Isobel. Upon arrival at Tangier Island, enjoy your afternoon by exploring, dining, shopping and visiting with the local people, most of whom speak a unique English Restoration era dialect of American English. Bicycle and golf cart rentals are available upon arrival for a small fee or just walk. Sites of interest include the Tangier Museum, the Swain Memorial Methodist Church built in 1899 and the Connorton House once home to Sergeant Bud Connorton. Learn how the British forces used Tangier as a base during the War of 1812 and about Tangier's special role in the history of aviation. Day cruises are offered daily May 15th through October 15th at 12:30pm. A round trip ticket to Tangier Island is just $27.00. Special pricing for children and one-way tickets.
