In November of 2008, I approached Ackley Media Group (www.amg.vi) Operations Director Scott Brake with the idea of a much needed Marine Community Talk Show, featuring a different guest each show and a call-in format to illicit questions and comments from the listening marine realated public.

In less than two weeks we were on the air and “On the Water” began it’s schedule of twice weekly programs every Wednesday from 3-4pm (St Thomas Time) and every Saturday from 8-9am. Little did I realize that 1 1/2 years later “On the Water” would have morphed into not only a very popular format for boaters both commercial and recreational to ask and comment on regulations and issues ranging from DPNR and U.S.Coast Guard to weather warnings and changes in local regulations, but also include every aspect of our local and Federal environmental agencies!
As we say on the program…call in to each show and make this program exactly what you want it to be at 340-774-8255.Listen on-line at www.vicl.org
