Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) November 1, 2006 -- Brian Matakis is scheduled to appear on ScooopRadio November 1, 2006 at 4:05 p.m. EDT to discuss Bayliner Discovery's website (www.iamdiscovery.com) that showcases noted journalists at the helm of Bayliner's new Discovery line of runabouts, cuddys and cruisers. "This is the place where people fall in love with boating all over again -- or for the first time," said Matakis. "The site opens like an outdoor movie screen and uses video, photographic and narrative travelogues to immerse you in the possibilities of boating."

The website invites visitors to "join us for a string of boating adventures at all points of the compass -- excursions where the mix of people, places, weather and wildlife transform trips into journeys." And they don't disappoint.

Bayliner also launched a companion video platform, www.iamdiscoveryvideo.com, where Web users can view video trailers of each journey, post them on their blog or vlog, share them with friends and sign up for a RSS feed and future updates from Bayliner Discovery.

On www.iamdiscovery.com, a nautical compass transports visitors to the first Bayliner Discovery journey, one where Motor Boating Magazine's Managing Editor John Wooldridge and his buddy Ken Nicholson challenge a new Bayliner Discovery 246 Cruiser in the Pacific chop from San Diego to Catalina Island and on through Channel Islands National Park to Santa Barbara. Their three-day odyssey unfolds in three video webisodes, a written travel journal, and gorgeous still photography.

While boating enthusiasts are reveling in Wooldridge's adventures, Bayliner Discovery is powering up another memorable journey.

"Recently, National Geographic writer and world-class kayaker Jon Bowermaster cruised stretches of the Maine Island Trail in a Bayliner Discovery 288 Cruiser," said Matakis. "This best-in-class, two-level mini-yacht is perfect to navigate the stunning inlets and craggy coastline."

The first webisode of this adventure will launch on www.iamdiscovery.com during Thanksgiving week.

ScooopRadio is broadcast every Wednesday at 16pm, on 1340 AM in Clearwater, Fla., and is podcast from ScooopRadio.com.
