Florida Powerboat Club Returns To Northern Bahamas After Four-Year Break

Just four years ago, Hurricane Dorian slammed The Bahamas. A year later, COVID-19 slammed the world. Between them, the two disasters erased any notions Florida Powerboat Club founder Stu Jones may have had about organizing a group boating trip to the Northern Bahamas for a while. Better to wait for the return of proper services and the end of travel-restriction headaches, Jones correctly reasoned, before leading a fleet of performance boats on the 80-mile trek from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to the area.

The wait ended August 8 when Jones led a group of 10 boats, including eight center consoles, one MTI catamaran and a Fountain Powerboats 38 Lightning sportboat, to Old Bahama Bay Resort in West End, Grand Bahama, and Port Lucaya. For the next four days, the group went island-hopping in the Sea of Abaco and explored the Grand Lucayan Waterway.

“Aside from just enjoying the immense scenery and pristine waterways, my goal was to show our club members some modern-day marvels of construction engineering that had long been forgotten—and to this day have remained abandoned and unfinished,” Jones explained. “We started with a quick cruise through the Ginn sur Mer Marina, which is possibly the largest marina excavation project ever undertaken in the Bahamas. It was abandoned in 2011 with the collapse of the Ginn enterprise.

“After a lunch stop in Port Lucaya, we continued through the Grand Lucayan Waterway, an equally impressive construction feat that was abandoned by a consortium of big-money overseas developers in the late 1970s,” he added. “That happened after Bahamas officially seceded from the British Commonwealth in 1976.”

The group spent three days at the Hope Town Inn and Marina on Elbow Cay. Posting up in Hope Town opened an array of day-trip adventures for the group, and Jones and the more than two dozen Florida Powerboat Club members in the mix took full advantage of it.

“When you’re in Hope Town you can point your boat in almost any direction and—depending on the weather and sea conditions—there are dozens of places to visit,” Jones said. “I’ve always enjoyed Pete’s Pub at Little Harbour, which is just over 20 miles south from Hope Town in protected waters, so we headed there on our first day-trip adventure. I was happy to run into the owner Pete as we docked the boats, and we spent some time in his dockside man-cave before I joined the group for a barefoot lunch.”

The following day, the group pigged out at No Name Cay, meaning they got in the water with the island’s attention-hogging wild pigs. From there, they headed to Green Turtle Club and Resort on Green Turtle Cay. They ended the trip with cocktails at Grabbers Bed, Bar and Grill on Great Iguana Cay.

For the Bahamas Blast, Jones left his Top Gun: Flight 1130 Cigarette Racing Team 38 Top Gun sportboat stateside and caught a ride with friends. And that suited him and his sons, Tyler and Max, just fine.

For the Jones boys, this Mag Bay 43 center console was the perfect Bahamas exploration vessel.

“Riding with Simon Williams and his first-mate Dee Babcock on a brand-new 43-foot Mag Bay center console powered by triple 600-hp Mercury Marine V-12 outboards was one of the highlights of the trip for us,” he said. “Simon is a Fountain Powerboats dealer in Sarasota and a Florida Powerboat Club sponsor, and after selling most of his Fountain 38SCX center-console inventory he decided to give this new Mag Bay center console a shakedown trip ‘on its own bottom.’ Simon ran it all the way from Sarasota to Fort Lauderdale—and then joined us for our 700-mile Bahamas adventure before running the boat back to Sarasota.

“I really have to thank Simon and Dee for helping us pull off an amazing 2023 Bahamas Blast and celebrate our return to the Northern Bahamas,” he added. “It was epic in every way.”

FEIG ELECTRONIC: Moscow-City Skyscrapers Streamline Parking Access and Control with Secure RFID

Feig electronic partners with isbc group to deploy ucode dna rfid security and parking access control solution in moscow business district.

Weilburg, Germany  — December 3,  2019  —  FEIG ELECTRONIC , a leading global supplier of radio frequency identification (RFID) readers and antennas with fifty years of industry experience, announces deployment of the UCODE DNA RFID security and parking contactless identification solution in the Moscow International Business Center, known as Moscow-City, one of the world’s largest business district projects.

The management of Moscow-City not only selected long-range, passive UHF RFID to implement in its controlled parking areas, it also chose to implement UCODE DNA , the highest form of secure RAIN RFID technology, developed by NXP Semiconductors.

“Underscoring NXP’s innovation and leadership in developing advanced RAIN RFID technologies, our UCODE DNA was chosen to be incorporated with the FEIG and ISBC implementation of the contactless identification system in the prestigious Moscow-City,” said Mahdi Mekic, marketing director for RAIN RFID with NXP Semiconductors. “This exciting project represents yet another successful deployment of NXP’s contactless portfolio, and showcases our continued ability to meet the high-security requirements of highly demanding applications without compromising user convenience.”

“UCODE DNA is considered the only identification technology to match the physical protection of a barrier with the cybersecurity necessary to truly protect entrances from unauthorized access,” said Manuel Haertlé, senior product manager for FEIG Electronic. “As a respected contactless payment technology company, FEIG applies security know-how from its payment terminals, which are fully certified according to the latest high-class security standards, into our RFID systems. FEIG vehicle access control RFID readers incorporate advanced secure key storage elements, supporting various methods for secure key injection.”

FEIG’s partner ISBC Group provided the knowledge and support for this successful implementation using  FEIG’s long-range UHF RFID . The resulting system enables authorized vehicle entry into areas reserved for private residential use or corporate tenants, while also allowing availability of temporary, fee-based visitor parking. Thanks to the cryptographic authentication of UCODE DNA, both the tag and reader must go through an authentication procedure before the reader will validate the data from the tag, which is transmitted wirelessly. This level of authentication is typically used in the most secure data communication networks.

“The system’s two-step authentication means that only authorized equipment can handle the secure protocol and the data exchange with the UCODE DNA based tag. Without the required cryptographic secrets, other readers would query the tag in vain, because the tag’s response cannot be interpreted or understood,” said Andrey Krasovskiy, director of the RFID department at ISBC Group. “On top of this, each data exchange in the authentication process is unique, so even if a malicious actor were to intercept the communication, the transmission is only good for a single exchange and the tag’s unique identity is protected from cloning.”

Established in 1992 and still growing, Moscow-City is the revitalization and transformation of an industrial riverfront into a new, modern, vibrant and upscale business and residential district. A mix of residential, hotel, office, retail and entertainment facilities, it is located about four kilometers west of Red Square along the Moscow River. Twelve of the twenty-three planned facilities have already been completed, with seven currently under construction. Six skyscrapers in Moscow-City reach a height of at least 300 meters, including Europe’s tallest building, Federation Tower, which rises more than 100 stories.

Partnering with ISBC and deploying FEIG Electronic RFID solutions, the Moscow International Business Center is delivering security and access control to its city center today, as it grows into the city of tomorrow.
