A special note of thanks to our readers
Before 2012 draws to a close, we’d like to thank our readers and supporters without whom Marine Café Blog would probably have met an early demise. We are now on our fourth year (the blog turned three last August) and continue to enjoy a quality worldwide readership composed mainly of individuals who are not only professionally involved with the maritime industry but care about its future. It’s not just a matter of website traffic. In the end, it’s about having a community of readers and communing with them whenever possible. This is a blessing for which we are deeply grateful.
