Vasculitides are conditions affecting the blood vessel which cause significant morbidity and mortality. Given the various vascular beds that may be involved, vasculitides have a complex symptomatology which often causes confusion in a broad range of clinical specialties. Vasculitides are considered as rare diseases; however taken together vasculitides represents a significant clinical issue and burden on public health particularly in elderly populations.
Because of their complex clinical presentation, vasculitides are difficult to diagnose. This often leads to a delayed diagnostic, a need to more aggressive therapeutic options and, often to a worsened outcome.
The diseases classified as vasculitides represents a relatively heterogeneous group of clinical entities, and the signs and symptoms vary widely according to the location of the damage (veins, arteries or capillaries), and its severity. Examples of vasculitis etiologies include Kawasaki disease, Behcet's disease, polyarteritis nodosa, Wegener's Granulomatosis, Takayasu's Arteritis, Churg-Strauss Syndrome, giant cell arteritis, and Henoch Schonlein Purpura. Vasculitis can occurs as a complication of a pre-existing condition (e.g., hepatitis B, CMV, EBV, Rheumatoid artheritis, certain types of cancer), or following exposure to chemicals (e.g., amphetamines and cocaine) or medications (NSAIDs, Coxibs, PDE inhibitors, some chemotherapeuticals).
The current practices for the diagnostic of vasculitis patient currently rely on a panel of examinations often including costly imaging procedures, and unspecific laboratory parameters (CRP, ESR). These tests often aim at excluding other possible conditions but fail to provide an unequivocal diagnostic. The use of ANCA test is the unique test that is intended to specifically recognize vasculitides but the poor performance of this marker both in terms sensitivity and specificity does not allow its use as a definitive diagnostic tool. And while Invasive examinations such as biopsies can provide a specific diagnostic, they require sampling at the right time and the right location, and therefore have low sensitivity.
The need for the early recognition and treatment and the current lack of efficient diagnostic tool highlight the need for new biomarkers.
Based on preclinical studies, Firalis has identified a biomarker signature associated with the occurrence of vasculitis. Based on these candidate biomarkers, Firalis has initiated a large program (VasoDiag) in order to develop proprietary essays capable of screening these candidate biomarkers in relevant clinical samples.
The VasoDiag project is to our knowledge the first project to integrate an exhaustive list of biomarker candidates for vasculitis to be assessed in large scale multiplexed platforms and data analyzed using innovative advanced statistical methodologies, to identify the best combinations of marker in order to develop both a multiplexed assay measuring a panel of biomarkers as well as a predictive model for the interpretation of the data.
The ultimate objective of the VasoDiag program is to develop a kit containing a panel of biomarkers showing sufficient clinical utility and a predictive algorithm allowing the differential diagnostic of vasculitis. This kit and its interpretation model will be validated in clinical studies specifically designed for the exploratory translation of these candidate biomarkers.

Dominique Aegerter shone in Sunday's race at the Sachsenring with an incredible consistency, which was ultimately the key for two more championship points.
This year's round nine, by the way the last race before the summer break, was characterized by hot weather. These circumstances led to massive grip issues at the hilly track in Germany's Saxony state. During the long distance with 28 laps, Dominique Aegerter was able to tame his bike just with utmost efforts. When crossing the line in 14th place, the 27-year-old from Switzerland and his German team were rewarded with two points for his tally.
The series returns to action at the first weekend in August with its traditionally visit to the Brno circuit in the Czech Republic.
#77 Dominique AEGERTER (Kiefer Racing), 14th - Championship position 16th (24 points):
"On the positive side, we leave this race with another two points. But honestly, we benefited from a few retirements. It was an incredibly tough race because it was that difficult to stay on the bike at all. The bike went more with me than that I could it ride in a proper way. As seen, there were many crashes and I didn't want to crash too as all these unlucky colleagues. Nevertheless, I was always at the absolute limit to be able to keep up with my group, which ultimately fought for seventh position. To head into the summer break with a top ten result would have been good for us. But that wasn't enough. We will take the experience from today and all data from this race and keep working hard to move forward in the second half of the season. The whole team around me is always trying the best. But we have to look ahead in positive mind and start preparing for Brno right now."

Weakness in Hind Legs & Vomiting in Dogs
For dogs, weakness of the hind legs and vomiting are two different symptoms that are not usually associated with each other. Owners of dogs who are experiencing either of these symptoms should seek veterinary care immediately to rule out any serious diseases or illnesses.
Causes: Weakness in the Hind Legs
There are potentially dozens of causes of weakness in a canine's hind legs. This symptom can stem from various infections, congenital defects, neurological diseases or muscle issues. Some causes of weakness in a dog's hind legs include toxoplasmosis, arthritis, Cushing's disease, lumbar-sacral syndrome or simply due to old age.
Causes: Vomiting
There is an endless list of possible causes of vomiting in a dog. Most cases of canine vomiting are caused by some form of gastrointestinal upset, often due to an infection or following consumption of a toxin. Some reasons for canine vomiting include eating foreign objects or contaminated food, canine distemper, leptospirosis, liver disease and in severe cases, cancer. However, some dogs may vomit simply because they ate their food too quickly, due to overexcitement or due to exercise immediately after eating.
Dogs who are exhibiting either of these symptoms will likely undergo several different tests at the veterinarian's office. For dogs suffering from hind leg weakness, the veterinarian will perform a physical exam to check for physical deformities. The affected dog may undergo tests including blood tests and X-rays to determine the underlying cause. Dogs with vomiting will also undergo a physical examination, and the veterinarian may inquire about changes in diet, new treats or potential toxins. Additional tests for vomiting may include blood tests, a urinalysis or an ultrasound.
Treatment: Weakness in the Hind Legs
The treatment for canine hind leg weakness varies from dog to dog based on the underlying cause. For example, if hind leg weakness is occurring due to old age, there may not be much the owner can do other than supportive therapy and medication for pain management. Meanwhile, other treatment options for weakness in the hind legs include various medications such as glucosamine for arthritis or surgical removal of tumours, if cancer is present.
Treatment: Vomiting
Due to the vast number of sources for canine vomiting, there is also a large number of treatment options―some of which may be dependent on the underlying cause of vomiting. For example, if a bacterial infection causes the vomiting, antibiotics may be prescribed. Other treatment options include a change in diet, withholding food for 24 hours, deworming if parasites are present, medications for kidney failure or medications for pancreatic or liver issues.

Last night, my daughter asked me to rub her back. I noticed myself hesitate. My addiction to my phone took over – I wanted to keep doing emails, reading Facebook news, and beating people I don't even know at Scrabble. I had to remind myself that my relationship with my daughter was more important than distracting myself with my phone. I made myself put it down and a sweet interaction and conversation ensued as she laid on the floor of our living room in the dim quiet light while I massaged her aches away.
This experience is happening to me more and more these days. I notice myself preferring texting, posting, swiping, liking, blogging, scanning countless images, videos, and devouring the latest gossip or news snippet to *being* in my REAL life and relationships. I postpone going to bed to get one more word in.
But it isn't just me. It's all of us. I can barely have a conversation with my children anymore without several interruptive pauses as they respond to the latest "beep". We are hard pressed to get through a meal as a family without looking up something on our phones. The phone is the last thing we look at before sleep and the first thing we look at when awake. We take it with us every time we visit the bathroom. It is frightening to watch myself and my family glued more and more to our screens. We are like addicts in need of our technological "fix" lest we die from withdrawal, boredom or loneliness.
Last year, when I heard that a friend of mine had a death in the family, my heart went out to her. I lovingly sent out a text to let other friends know so they could send their condolences. Upon hearing the news, another friend of mine immediately went to her house to offer support. I was shocked to realize that it had never occurred to me to do that. I had forgotten that a text was a poor substitute for real human contact.
What is happening to us? How is this digital age impacting our relationships and our families?
We talk less, interact less and get out of the house less. We rarely look at each other and we have less sex. We take fewer risks. We hardly ever reach out to each other by phone and have an extended conversation. We have fewer deep, rewarding interactions with our spouse, children and friends. We are lonelier, and more disconnected and isolated than ever. This new way of living is becoming more and more a new way of not living.
We see the impact of this digital age all the time in our relationship work.
We come across many singles who are understandably desperate for intimacy. So-called "dating" sites are like shopping catalogues for the perfect specimen, and the few dates with prospective partners that occur after meeting online are but judging fests with little or no genuine connection. Most singles are touch and affection starved. As a result, many feel hopelessly sure there is something wrong with them and afraid they will be lonely forever.
Couples surprisingly feel just as lonely and disconnected in their homes and marriages. They can go months or even years without talking, looking at each other or making sweet deep love. Many men disappear into their work, computer or porn worlds while women contemplate divorce in secret while losing themselves in TV dramas, house and kid logistics, or careers. Turns out many couples are just as love and touch starved as their single counterparts.
Many of my women friends who have relatively happy lives are sure they are the only ones who never get out much, are never invited to parties or events or dinners. But in reality, all of us are merely spending way too much time on our screens, pretending we have lots of friends and connections as we scroll through pages of posts and pictures, and feeling involved in life by proxy as we Netflix the latest episode of our favorite series.
Just look around the next time you walk into a coffee shop – there just isn't much real-life human interaction and conversation going on anywhere these days. It is no wonder we are lonely. And the cycle is self-perpetuating, as we go to our screens to find the connection we long for, the very thing that keeps us feeling disconnected in the first place!
I am 59 years old, so I have known life without smartphones and computers. I remember playing outside and spending hours camping and swimming and playing games when I was growing up. I remember reading books out loud with my parents before bed and having conversations about our "day" over dinner. We worked together in the yard, cooked meals and cleaned up together and engaged in crafting projects, and played with our animals. Watching television was something that happened sparingly in the evenings. Going to the theatre was a rare special treat.
My past helps me remember that life is richest and my relationships more meaningful away from electronic gizmos. Each activity in real life that I design into my day contributes more to my body, heart and soul than any news feed ever has. I play volleyball six hours a week. I teach myself to learn new songs on the piano. I gather with women in a spiritual group. I coach clients and lead workshops. We engage in community workdays, where some ten families alternate going to each other's houses once a month to work together on a project of that family's choice. Christian and I take walks regularly in nature. We vacation at new places every year. We dance and laugh and crack jokes and sing songs. We have a "no phone" table policy, with and without kids, which means mealtimes are conversation rich. Making love is a priority for us every week. We invite friends over for dinner and games and holiday celebrations that are purposefully interactive, playful and memorable. For example, over Christmas, we played fun white elephant games, lit candles on our tree in reverential silence, sang songs, and went caroling with friends. On New Year's Eve, we dined with two other couples and played a game called Sparked that inspired us to share stories, laughter, tears and love.
Each real life activity encourages us to meet the unexpected play of life in motion with undivided focus, to be in the time consuming messiness, awkwardness, deliciousness and pleasure of real relating and living in all its variety.
Still, even with knowing all that I know, I feel the pull of the screen…
Christian and I judge our children and their friends for having phones glued to their hands, even when together, with little eye contact and real conversation. For them, like us, the pull of technology is constant. But they know the richness of life without phones too. Our son came alive with purpose and perspective when he volunteered in Bali this last summer, a location with sketchy Internet. He appreciated more than ever in retrospect his media-free Waldorf Education and vowed to spend fewer hours on the computer upon his return. Our daughter enjoyed the peaceful beauty of nature, singing songs and working together in the elements when she joined her class for an 8th grade field trip on the shores of Maine without phones.
Both of our children and their friends appreciate it (even though they hate it) when we tell them to put phones aside for a meal, an activity or visit – they literally come alive as they engage with us, each other and their surroundings.
It is more and more imperative that we insist on making time to really be with each other in this life; to not let the pull of our screens put us to sleep to what really matters. There is nothing that fills us up more than genuine interaction with other human beings, than being present to the beauty of these bodies in this life with all of our senses. No one wishes they had spent more time on their phones when faced with death. They wish they had danced more, loved more, played more, touched more, laughed more.
Personally, I think that is what makes our live trainings so powerful. People are supported to actually look at each other, talk to each other and work through conflicts together. In the process, souls are nourished, hearts are blown open and people are massively transformed in a way that can only happen in community with others.
I will never forget one man, sharing with tears in his eyes, that his wife hadn't looked at him like that for years. Another woman, on the edge of divorce, fell in love with her husband again after just a few moments of guided heartfelt sharing. A single man, who had given up on love, months later was in the relationship of his dreams because he dared physically reach out to someone he was interested in 2,000 miles away.
Meaning, contribution, mystery, play, passion, love and transformation show up in real life; it is not replicable on a screen. It is in relationship with life and others that we see and feel ourselves, where we are supported to grow and experience and play and transform and create and manifest.
I believe that in this digital age, we are challenged more than ever to create meaningful, passionate, joyful, love-filled lives and relationships. And for those of us who happen to still remember life before TV and computers and phones, well, we may be the last generation to impart to our youth the value of eye-contact, delivering appreciations, having loving sex, being vulnerably honest, sharing deep feelings, taking risks, being in nature and focusing our attention on who and what we love.
To do so, we will need to find the commitment and courage to disconnect from our own technological gadgets, to get out of the house, to make sex, love and relating a priority, to model what is possible when our lover or children ask for our attention and we don't hesitate to put down our phones.

I'm positively psychic. I wrote my last post, Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Later, a few days ago and had it post today. It turns out today is the day that President Bush will supposedly lift the executive ban on off-shore drilling today.
"White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said initially the president wanted to move in concert with Congress but decided to go ahead alone after being rebuffed by Democratic leaders and a relentless upward spike in energy prices." [emphasis mine]
Bush will go it alone? Say it ain't so…
In all seriousness, the executive ban on offshore drilling, opposed until recently by his little brother, was enacted by George H. W. Bush in 1990. Apparently the reasons Bush Sr. put this executive ban in place no longer are a factor, because I'm sure that Bush Jr. spent lots of time strategery-ing this out in his mind.
This lifting of the executive ban is honestly just a political stunt and will have little to no effect since the Congress itself has it's own ban. Plus even if the congressional ban were lifted today it would take 5 to 10 years for any of that oil to make it to market. Of course, the environmental impact would be felt almost immediately.

Other than styles discovered from its materials, details of a scarf surely can also add lots of dimensions into your fashion statement. A chunky scarf, for example, offers an incredibly flattering and chic appearance during the chilly, winter days, while a sparkling metallic scarf with sequined details delivers those glam-rock styles perfect for a night out.
There is no definite rules and list to classify scarves hanging in your wardroom but I tried to classify some on the basis of shape, colour, texture, size, patter, season, material etc.
Shapes & Styles
1. Blanket
Blanket scarves are a giant version of a scarf that are so big they could even be used as, you guessed it, a blanket.Whether worn bandana-style, tied into knot, or looped into a feminine bow, neck scarves are sweeping Hollywood, runways, and city streets with gusto this season. Channel your inner Mad Men, classic girly-girl, or country club queen in one of our signature neck scarves! We carry styles perfect for a men's neck scarf as well as neck scarves for women.

3. HeadHair and head accessories have been a staple for fashion since the first bobby pin was invented. Whether you want to have that 50's ponytail flair or are looking for that gypsy, tousled hair look, head scarves can add exciting style to your daily fashion. Didn't have time to wash your hair? No problem! Sport a head scarf instead! Wear the scarf as a head band, bandana, or a wrap. A skinny scarf or square scarf works great for this trend that wears well in any season. You can even use a silk head scarf at night to help keep curls in place!
4. Infinity
The infinity scarf is like our love for scarves: it never ends. Instead, it goes on for forever in an ever-so dashing, flashy, and comfy-cozy way. A wool infinity scarf will keep you warm while bringing bold colors to your winter outfits, but there are infinity scarves that are perfect for any season.

And before you know it, you'll find yourself wrapped up and feeling fabulous without ever having to tie a knot.
5. Pashmina
If there were a master list of the must-haves for every woman's wardrobe, the classic pashmina would be at the top. The pashmina is timeless, and with its infinity of uses, you'll find yourself wearing it as a warm shawl, as a trendy solid colour statement piece, and a million-and-two other scarf-tying ways. From bold prints to demure silvers, you can do no wrong with a pashmina. Find a gorgeous cheap ladies scarves pashmina to add to your wardrobe.
6. Square
There's nothing square about square scarves; the moment it's tied, looped or knotted around your dainty neck, it makes a bold style-statement. Whether you're sporting one in chevron, hearts, abstract shapes, leopard print, or even a festive holiday neckerchief, square head scarves will surely turn heads. If you're loving their silky-smooth feel, check out our full collection of square silk scarves.

Shemagh scarves, otherwise known as keffiyeh scarves, are a square cotton type traditionally worn by Arabs. These are worn around the neck or the head to protect from the sun and dust. This scarf is known for its white checkered weave that is combined with a dark colour.
8 Bandana
A bandana scarf is a piece of cloth in the shape of a triangle or a square that is folded into a triangle. These are often made of cotton and are popularly donned by cowboys and associated with western wear. Bandana scarves can be worn on the head, neck, and as a ponytail wrap. They may also come in silk as well.

Caregiving is Stressful
Caregiving has difficult and challenging moments. Many times you are isolated with the person for which you are caring. Frustrating
episodes can escalate. Here are some tips to help you cope and stay calm.
1. Breathe deeply to a count of six (6) and then exhale to a count of six (6). Do this for five minutes. You will feel refreshed after you do
this. It helps to engage your parasympathic nervous system which relaxes tense muscles.
2. Go out in nature; take a walk in the park; appreciate the beauty of the environment, birds and animals. A change of scenery often
uplifts your mood. Go for a drive in the country with your loved one. It will uplift their mood too.
3. Stay positive. When your thoughts take a negative spiral, do the breathing exercise (Tip #1) and affirm that you will look for the positive side of what is occuring. Positive thoughts generate positive energy. Negative thoughts increase negative energy. Ask yourself where you want to be.
4. Dance. Exercise. Go for a walk to get fresh oxygen and endorphins circulating in your body. Engage the person you are caring for to do it with you even if all they can do is move their arms. It will help them too. Use music to stimulate and set the pace.
5. Get a massage. Massages help to remove toxins from muscles and to relax. They also get your circulation moving. This helps your brain to work better too since the brain uses 20-25% of the oxygen in the body.
6. Take a bath. Water is always healing. A bath is soothing and relaxing. You feel refreshed when you are finished. A swim can offer the same
effects. Besides exercising your muscles, it also relaxes tension. When you are finished, you will feel more limber and mentally clearer. A day on the water can offer much refreshment as well. Fresh air can improve your outlook.
7. Meditate. Meditation involves breathing and intense focus which leaves the brain free to receive inspiration and creativity. Music often assists participants to relax. Candles can add atmosphere and a point of focus as can words like 'peace', 'forgiveness', 'love'. You can choose on what you want to focus. After meditation, you will feel peaceful, relaxed and energized. Do this for 10 minutes and then increase your time as you become comfortable with the process.
Caregiving can be challenging and sometimes frustrating. By staying centered and peaceful yourself, your loved one will reflect this and be more cooperative. If you are frustrated and angry, they will reflect that as well. You choose what you want to experience.
If stress affects caregiver health, what will happen to the patient?
If you do not take care of yourself as a caregiver, what will the person you are caring for do when you are sick or unable to care for them? You must take care of yourself so you will be able to care for them. Select some people who join you periodically to first get acquainted with your charge and then take over for short bouts. Give yourself time off. This is smart planning. Life throws unexpected curves and it will be
easier on your loved one if you have planned for the inevitable in advance.
In summary, incorporate these seven tips into your life to increase your relaxation potential and to uplift your emotional level. By staying faithful to caring for yourself, you will experience greater personal health and better behavior from the person for which you are caring.

A specialist firm is driving in pilings round what will be the lift at the rear of the County Hall. The hot weather continues and will do for a few days more. And this evening there was a meeting of Abingdon Town Council. I have gathered the points I found of interest from the meeting. I hope councillors can correct any points that I misheard. My hearing is not brilliant at times …

The scaffolding – in place since Easter – has been removed from 30-32 Stert Street and once again it's easy to see and get inside the Oxfam shop.
Although the cleaning of the lower part of the building is still to do, the upper part of the building looks transformed after renovation and cleaning.

A planning application for The Ox Pub, 15 Oxford Road, Abingdon, has been published on the Vale of White Horse Distrct Council (VWHDC) system, pending a decision in November.
The plans show illuminated signs, enlarged front window, and cash machine, instead of the Ox's former horns.
In the narrative the application states that planning permission is not required to change a pub to a shop. However some justification is given … the Tesco Express will be in line with the VWHDC Local Plan published in 2006 as it will keep shopping facilities in a designated VWHDC shopping area on the Oxford Road.
They go on to say that the new shop will be next to a Chinese Restuarant, Off Licence, Laundrette and Motor Spares company.
The Off Licence could also be better described as a family run convenience store if you look inside.

At Trinity we celebrated Harvest this morning. I think Trinity are earlier than most churches – so there is probably still the chance to take along some groceries to a church near you in the weeks to come.
Trinity were joined by The Lighthouse Abingdon Church. They normally meet in the Net Young People's centre, but during the building work of recent months have met in Trinity's Conduit Hall.
At Harvest today both congregations joined together. Michael, seen here in the picture on the left, and members of Lighthouse Abingdon should be back at the Young People's Centre – soon. It is good to see Revd. Richard Bittleston, on the right, has made such a full recovery after he was struck down with a very serious illness at the start of May.

Who knew? Be warned: if you want to photograph anyone in front of Heritage New Zealand's Kemp House you must first seek the permission of the property manager.
This despite the fact that the building sits front and centre of Kerikeri's picturesque Stone Store Basin, right alongside the eponymous trading site.
And despite the fact that Heritage New Zealand, other organisations responsible for the Basin and the various bodies responsible for promoting tourism in Kerikeri and the Bay of Islands profess to be doing everything they can to encourage people to visit the place.
This is the image that caused all the fuss. A bunch of foreign exchange students on the veranda of the lovely old building.
Anyone who has been to the Stone Store Basin will understand the sheer absurdity of requiring all photography involving these visual centrepieces to be cleared by some bureaucrat.
Quite what the foreign youngsters thought about the aggressive, officious, patronising and clearly flustered kill-joy who came and wagged her politically-correct finger in my face for daring to enjoy the wonderful old building remains unclear. But, for sure, they didn't pick her as welcoming, warm, friendly, accommodating, laid-back and all those other virtues our various tourism marketing bodies spend a fortune trying to portray Kiwis as.
They watched wide-eyed, and in silence, as she berated me before striding back into the sanctity of her domain. I can't repeat here the epithet one of them was heard to mutter as she departed like a galleon under full sail – the needles of her ire as evident as three decks of cannon run out on full muster.
To be fair, in the quest for a great image I had – foolishly in retrospect – also encouraged the kids to climb a nearby tree. Apparently these days trees are not for climbing. This, it seems, is a heritage tree! A heritage tree with bark worn shiny from generations of youngsters doing exactly what I had encouraged these ones to do. Doing what any visitor to the Basin on any summer weekend will see lots of children doing.
A tree that has grown strong and proud under the attention of many thousands of Kiwi kids. And, guess what?! All without the help of officious ministration.
Heritage New Zealand needs to understand that part of the attraction of these places is that they are not bottled in preservative or wrapped in cotton wool. It is their very accessibility that makes them so dear to us all. If they start putting them behind barriers and making them inaccessible then they will lose something immensely precious – our love.
Anyone who has been to the Stone Store Basin will understand the sheer absurdity of requiring all photography involving these visual centrepieces to be cleared by some bureaucrat.
Seriously? Our community – and the New Zealand public – deserve better than that. I have heard it said that the Heritage New Zealand staff responsible for administering the Stone Store Basin have become increasingly petty, grasping and arrogant. Today I saw it for myself.
I'd respectfully suggest to the property manager that if she doesn't want people posing for photographs on or around 'her' property then she probably needs to manage up a sign that says so.
A sign that says: "No! After travelling many thousands of kilometres to see the sights of our nation you may NOT photograph this one without my permission. Go away!"
And another that says: "You might be local. And over the years you may very well have responded handsomely to our countless pleas for community support. But DON'T YOU DARE photograph this building that sits right at the heart of this town you call home. Buzz off!"
Bah, humbug!

Clichéd as it may sound, Security and Privacy are probably two of your most important considerations as an IT executive. This becomes all the more important at a time when it seems the entire world is moving to public cloud …
As enterprises move their data assets to the cloud, they are increasingly having to ask the question – "what's safe to put in the cloud" vs "what's not". CIOs and IT managers ask themselves these questions every day…

How Boat Insurance Can Help You Seas the Day
By Diane Tait

It's that time of year again when boaters of all stripes take to the water. Unfortunately, summer is also the time of year when more boat accidents and sinking's occurred. While we at A&B Insurance can't help you become a better boater, we can help you find the right coverage for your boat at the best rates.
Since Florida doesn't require boat insurance, many boaters think they don't need it. This is the quickest way of cruising into troubled waters. Should you be involved in a collision, or have a passenger on your boat get injured, you could quickly find yourself being sued. While the state doesn't require insurance, that doesn't limit a boat owner's liability in case of an accident.
Statistics Don't Lie
It should come as no surprise that Florida leads the nation in the number of registered boats. What does surprise most Floridians is that it also leads the nation in the number of boating accidents: 261. It also led the nation in boating deaths in 2017 with 67 being reported. The leading cause of death in boating accidents is drowning. Statistically speaking, the chance of any boater in Florida being involved in an accident on the water is 1 in 1,018. The reason the incidence is so high is obvious when you also take into account there is no requirement for a boater to have any license or instruction to operate a boat.

The only requirements to own a boat of any size in Florida is to register and title the vessel. The only exceptions are boats under 16-feet in length that are not equipped with a motor, such as a canoe, kayak or small sailboat. Unlike a motor vehicle, the state does not require boaters to show or indeed carry any insurance whatsoever to operate a vessel in Florida. As a rule, the only time boaters are required to insure their vessel is if they acquire a loan to finance a boat, and the insurance mandated by the lender is only to cover the value of the boat should it sink or be stolen. Most marinas also require boaters who rent slips to show some proof of insurance, since any vessel tied to their docks has the potential to catch fire and cause damage to marina facilities.
Do You Need Boat Insurance?
When people ask me if their boat needs to be insured, I ask them a few questions:
1. How much is your vessel worth? – This is an important question that needs to be accurately determined if you want to insure your boat against loss. This is what's known as the vessels ACV or actual cash value. Just because you bought your boat for $30,000, doesn't mean it has an identical insured value. ACV needs to take into consideration a number of factors, such as the age of the vessel, wear and tear, and replacement value. For some vessels, arriving at an accurate ACV will require a marine survey. Get the ACV wrong, and you could wind up holding the bag should your vessel be lost, sunk or stolen.
2. What kind of boat is it? – There is a big difference between the amount of damage a small sloop can do when compared to that of a high-speed powerboat. Depending on the size, horsepower and tonnage of a vessel, there is not only the possibility that a boat can cause damage to other boats in case of an accident, it can also cause considerable property damage. Should your vessel cause damage to a dock, boathouse or other landlocked property, you will be held liable.

3. Is the boat going to be kept on a trailer or in the water? – Boats that spend most of their time on a trailer are not as likely to wind up damaged or sunk when they are not in use. Boats that spend their downtime tied to docks and moorings are another proposition. While Florida is also the hurricane capital of the country, it doesn't take Force 12 winds to damage or destroy a boat. Wind and waves produced by thunderstorms, which are an almost daily occurrence in Florida during the months of June, July, and August, are sufficient to do serious damage to any boat. Even if your boat is securely tied to a dock or mooring, that doesn't mean that every nearby vessel is. Should another boat break free of its mooring or drag anchor and drift to become entangled with yours, it can beat your boat to pieces or even cause it to break free of its mooring only to collide with other boats.
4. How often do you plan on taking your boat out? – This is actually a trick question. Most boaters believe that the less time they spend on the water, the less their risk of winding up in an accident. The opposite is actually true. The problem with on-again, off-again boaters who only take their vessels out on rare occasions, is that they lack the on-the-water experience of more seasoned boaters. This makes them much more susceptible to winding up in a collision.
5. How much are you worth? – While this too sounds like a trick question, it's not. When it comes to assessing liability, one needs to take into consideration what an opposing attorney will do should you wind up being taken to court if involved in an accident on the water. As I pointed out earlier in this blog, there is no limit on a boat owner's liability in case of an accident. While you may wish to save a few dollars by opting for minimal liability coverage, this could later prove to be a mistake should you find yourself in court.
6. What would you do if an uninsured boater collided with your boat? – Just as most prudent drivers carry uninsured motorist protection on their auto insurance policy in case of an accident and possible injury resulting from colliding with an uninsured motorist, so too should a prudent boater carry liability insurance. Even if a boat accident is not your fault, the amount of time and money you could wind up spending to defend yourself should an accident occur, can add up fast.
7. What Kind of Boat Insurance Do I Need?
This is the real question you need to ask your insurance agent. Depending on the answers to the questions above, a reputable insurance agent or broker will be able to determine the best coverage that fits you and your boat. This could be anything from liability only, to an All-Risk policy that covers everything from liability, theft, and sinking, to grounding, lightning, fire, and vandalism. Get it wrong, and you could wind up in serious financial straits should you wind up in a boat accident. Get it right, and you will have everything you need to seas the day.
