About Yacht Rock Revue

Yacht Rock Revue is an American rock band formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 2007. The band was formed by members of the now defunct indie rock band Y-O-U after an ironic performance of soft rock hits at a local club gig took off into a weekly residence. Performing primarily covers, the band's set list is centered around a genre called "yacht rock", coined by the early 2000s web series of the same name, consisting primarily of soft rock from the 1970s and 1980s, but at times including songs as recent as the early 1990s. Although the Yacht Rock Revue started as a side project, it is now the main focus for all seven band members: Peter Olson, Nicholas Niespodziani, Mark Cobb, Greg Lee, Mark Bencuya, Mark Dannells, and David Freeman. The band has a contract with Live Nation and tours nationally, playing more than 100 shows a year and selling out theaters in Los Angeles, Boston, Atlanta, and Washington DC. In order to keep up with demand, a subsidiary band was launched in 2009 called Yacht Rock Schooner. In 2015, two of the founding band members, Peter Olson and Nicholas Niespodziani, opened Venkman's, a restaurant and music venue in Atlanta's Old 4th Ward neighborhood. In 2018, Jawbone Press released The Yacht Rock Book: The Oral History of the Soft, Smooth Sounds of the 70s and 80s by author Greg Prato, which explored the entire history of the genre. The book featured an interview with Niespodziani, as well as Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins, and John Oates, among others. In fall 2019, the band released their first original single, "Step". Further, they announced their first album of original material, Hot Dads in Tight Jeans. The album was released on February 21, 2020.

That '70s Week: Yacht Rock

What's the best way to become the unchallenged expert on a particular genre of music? Invent it. Enter JD Ryznar, Hunter Stair, David B. Lyons and Steve Huey: coiners of the description "yacht rock," creators of a hilarious web series of the same name and now de facto captains of the genre. Broadly speaking, yacht rock is an ocean of smooth, soft-listening music made in the late '70s and early '80s by artists like Toto, Hall & Oates and Kenny Loggins — music you can sail to. But as David and Talia learn in this conversation with the arbiters of Yacht Rock , the waters are much murkier than that.

For example, according to Ryznar, "There's also a common misconception that just because it's about a boat, or the ocean, or sailing, that it's yacht rock. That is most definitely nyacht true." Thankfully, on their Beyond Yacht Rock podcast, our guests have developed a sound system of logical criteria to define what is "Yacht" and what is "Nyacht." They employ their patented "Yachtzee scale" to examine a song's "Yachtness" based on a number of factors, including its personnel (is there a Doobie Brother in there?), amount of jazz and R&B influence, geographic origin (Southern California is a plus) and lyrical obtuseness.

Listen as Ryznar and Lyons steer us towards the musical marina with a buoyant "Yacht or Nyacht" debate that includes Michael McDonald, Christopher Cross, Sade and the most serious discussion you can have about the proper soundtrack for standing shirtless on a deck wearing boat shoes and a sailor cap. Dive on in --the water's great.

Search Resumes for British Mogul and 5 Others After Yacht Sinks Off Sicily

The body of the vessel’s cook was recovered while divers searched the hull of the Bayesian for passengers, including the tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch.

• Share full article

By Elisabetta Povoledo

Deep-sea divers with Italy’s firefighter corps resumed their search on Tuesday for six missing passengers — including a British software mogul and his daughter — of a yacht that sank off the coast of Sicily the previous day.

Twenty-two people were on board the 180-foot British-flagged sailing yacht, the Bayesian, which was anchored near the port of Porticello, when it was hit by what witnesses described as a waterspout, a small tornado on water, during a sudden and violent storm.

Fifteen people who managed to get to a raft were rescued by the captain of a nearby sailing cruise ship. The body of the yacht’s cook, identified by news outlets as Recaldo Thomas, a Canadian Antiguan, was recovered on Monday. But several people are still unaccounted for, according to Salvatore Cocina, an official with Sicily’s civil protection agency.

Those still missing are Mike Lynch, a British technology entrepreneur; his daughter Hannah; Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of Morgan Stanley International; his wife, Judy Bloomer; Christopher J. Morvillo, a lawyer at Clifford Chance; and his wife, Neda Morvillo.

Mr. Lynch was acquitted of fraud in a U.S. trial in June, ending a high-profile, decadelong legal battle against accusations that he had defrauded Hewlett-Packard when he sold his company, Autonomy, to Hewlett for $11 billion.

Mr. Lynch and the others went missing days after Mr. Lynch’s co-defendant at the fraud trial, Stephen Chamberlain, a former vice president of finance at Autonomy, was fatally struck by a car on Saturday while out for a run, his lawyer, Gary S. Lincenberg, said in a statement.

Prosecutors in the Italian city of Termini Imerese, east of where the yacht sank, are opening a formal investigation into the yacht’s sinking. Reached by telephone, the chief prosecutor declined to comment.

The search for the missing passengers began on Monday but was suspended late that night as crews found themselves limited to the bridge deck and items like furnishings “obstructing passage,” the firefighters’ corps wrote on social media .

When divers resumed the search on Tuesday, ships trawled the waters near the site, the corps said in a statement. The Italian Coast Guard also said in a statement that search operations were “continuing unabated,” with the deployment of helicopters. There was no evidence that gasoline was leaking from the yacht, the Coast Guard said.

The yacht was lying on its right side in about 165 feet of water, meaning that divers, working in pairs, could stay underwater for only about 12 minutes at a time, said Luca Cari, a spokesman for the firefighters’ corps.

Divers were seeking a safe point of access to the vessel’s cabins. “Obviously, everything fell and the space is very tight,” Mr. Cari said, adding that the divers were having to remove obstacles, like furnishings and electrical wiring, that were “completely blocking passages.”

The firefighters’ corps said in a statement that it was impossible to verify whether people were inside the hull.

Mr. Cari said that several divers had been part of the search-and-rescue operations when the Costa Concordia, a cruise liner, capsized off the Tuscan island of Giglio in 2012, killing 32 people. It is considered one of the worst maritime disasters in modern Italian history.

“It’s like the Costa Concordia, but much smaller,” Mr. Cari said in a telephone interview, comparing the search operations. “In the Costa Concordia, we came across many obstacles but we somehow were able to overcome them. Here, the obstacles block the passages and have to be removed.” He added, “This makes it more difficult.”

Crews were also trying to raise the yacht, which experts will examine to try to determine why it sank. Until then, experts can only hypothesize what happened.

Karsten Borner, the captain of a ship, the Sir Robert Baden Powell, which picked up the Bayesian’s 15 survivors, said in an interview that when the wind picked up around 4 a.m. Monday, the Bayesian was about 490 feet behind his vessel. Once the wind wound down, he said, he could not see the yacht anymore.

“My theory was that she was capsized first and then went down over the stern,” Mr. Borner said.

Dario Boote, a ship structures and naval architecture professor at the University of Genoa, said: “Now I imagine that a whole series of lawsuits will be triggered, obviously to ascertain whether there is any responsibility, as always happens very unpleasantly in these situations.” He said, however, that in this case, responsibility might be hard to determine. “Clearly, only once the wreck is raised will we know more,” he added.

Several fishermen told Italian news outlets that they had witnessed a waterspout. Peter Inness, a meteorologist at the University of Reading, said they were relatively common in the Mediterranean, though their occurrence and intensity are unpredictable.

“Until one actually forms, you can’t start telling people where it is,” Mr. Inness said, or “how to get out of the way.”

The inclement weather — with lightning intermittently streaking through the sky — made it hard to know exactly why the yacht sank. Col. Attilio Di Diodato, director of the Italian Air Force’s Center for Aerospace Meteorology and Climatology, said the agency had registered intense lightning activity and strong gusts of wind in the area at the time the boat sank.

The Bayesian had one of the tallest aluminum masts in the world, according to its builder, Perini Navi. “Having a tall aluminum mast would not make it the safest port to be in case of a storm,” said Andrea Ratti, associate professor of nautical design and architecture technology the Politecnico di Milano. The type of intensity unleashed by a violent lightning storm “could have created a significant shock wave,” he added.

He, too, cautioned that “a lot of questions will remain until we have other elements at our disposal.”

Modern yachts are built to withstand meteorological events of reasonable intensity, and all international naval registers suggest that new ships be designed for higher waves and more frequent and extreme weather events.

But “this seems a case of an unreasonable extreme event,” said Emilio Fortunato Campana, an expert in Naval Hydrodynamics at Italy’s National Research Council. “In that case, no ship is 100 percent safe,” he added. “I think the Titanic showed that nothing is unsinkable.”

3 Eternal Yacht Rock Songs that Continue to Rock the Boat

Jacob Uitti

Yacht rock is one of those genres of music that you know when you hear it. It’s a combination of a lot of styles, from rock to jazz to blue-eyed soul to disco, but in the end what it constitutes is smooth music that gives you a jolt and a reason to start moving your feet. Even if those feet are in deck shoes planted firmly on a giant boat in the middle of the ocean.

Videos by American Songwriter

Here below, we wanted to, ahem, dive into three songs from the genre that still get the boat a-rocking. A trio of tracks that boast the appeal of the genre as well as legitimate staying power. Indeed, these are three eternal yacht rock songs that continue to inspire the boatside dance moves.

[RELATED: Yacht Rock Essentials: “Time Passages,” the Smash Hit Al Stewart Wrote and Performed but Never Much Liked]

“Sailing” by Christopher Cross from Christopher Cross (1979)

Believed by many to be the quintessential yacht rock song, this track, which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, has it all: a sharp-yet-mellow singing voice, drifting musical melodies, and a poignant delivery. Couple that with the title and this song becomes the top track to put on your yacht rock playlists. It’s like melding into an ocean breeze and finding yourself traveling from shore to island and back again. Not only was this track a success on the charts but it won Cross Grammys for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Arrangement of the Year. He also garnered the Best New Artist award, too. On the floating single, he sings,

Well, it’s not far down to paradise At least it’s not for me And if the wind is right you can sail away And find tranquility Oh, the canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see, believe me

It’s not far to never never land No reason to pretend And if the wind is right you can find the joy Of innocence again Oh, the canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see, believe me

“Africa” by Toto from Toto IV (1982)

If we’re talking yacht rock, why not offer a song that gives listeners a far-off destination to think of. And for those listening in the Western world, the continent of Africa is just that. This track from Toto is one of those that music listeners love to sing along to, especially when it comes to the chorus. Its synthesizers and vocal harmonies are catnip to yacht rock fans—and, really, music fans of any kind. On the compelling track, David Paich sings,

I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She’s coming in, 12:30 flight The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies He turned to me as if to say, “Hurry boy, it’s waiting there for you”

“Kiss on My List” by Hall & Oates from Voices (1980)

When it comes to blending rock with disco and soul, perhaps no group did it better than Hall & Oates and this track is one of the prime examples of that. A toe-tapper and easy-listener, this song is driven by pianos and percussion but is accentuated by Daryl Hall’s bright, soaring voice. If you’re ever on a boat and in charge of the music, if you put this song on the playlist, just sit back and watch your fellow travelers begin to sing and get down with big smiles on their faces as this tune plays. It’s the perfect balance of pop stickiness and yacht rock flavor. On the track, Hall sings,

(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life (Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list (Because your kiss) your kiss I can’t resist (Because your kiss) is what I miss when I turn out the lights

I go crazy wondering what there is to really see Did the night just take up your time, ’cause it means more to me Sometimes I forget what I’m doing I don’t forget what I want, what I want Regret what I’ve done, regret you, I couldn’t go on

Search resumes for British tech magnate and 5 others after yacht sinks off Sicily

Updated August 20, 2024 at 04:12 AM ET

PORTICELLO, Sicily — Rescue teams and divers were returning to the site of a storm-sunken superyacht off Sicily on Tuesday to search for six people, including British tech magnate Mike Lynch, who are believed to be still trapped in the hull, 50 meters (164 feet) underwater.

Divers were loading a rescue dinghy at the port of Porticello, near Palermo, after a first search Monday ended unsuccessfully. Fire rescue crews reported that divers were unable to access the below-deck cabins because they were blocked by debris that had shifted during the violent storm that toppled the luxury sailboat early Monday.

Fifteen people survived, including a mother who reported holding her 1-year-old baby over the waves to save her. One body has been recovered, officials said.

“Access was limited to the bridge, due to the difficulty represented by the presence of furnishings obstructing the divers’ passage,” the fire crews said in a statement.

The search was made particularly difficult because the ship was resting on the seabed at a depth of 50 meters, which limits the amount of time divers can be underwater, said fire rescue spokesperson Luca Cari. As a result, the search is expected to take time, he told The Associated Press early Tuesday.

The 56-meter (184-foot) British-flagged Bayesian luxury yacht had been moored about a half-mile off Ponticello when a storm rolled in around 4 a.m. Monday. Civil protection officials said they believed the ship was struck by a tornado over the water, known as a waterspout, which had passed over the area.

Fifteen of the Bayesian’s 22 passengers and crew managed to escape, first onto a lifeboat and then by a nearby sailboat, the Sir Robert Baden Powell, that had also been moored offshore to ride out the storm, Karsten Borner, the captain of the Baden Powell, told reporters at the scene.

One body, belonging to the Bayesian’s chef, was recovered nearby.

Among those missing was Lynch , who was once hailed as Britain’s king of technology. He was cleared in June of fraud and conspiracy charges in a U.S. federal trial related to Hewlett Packard’s $11 billion takeover of his company, Autonomy Corp. His wife, Angela Bacares, survived.

The vacation appeared to be something of a celebration after Lynch's acquittal, with guests including some of the people who had stood by Lynch throughout the ordeal. Among those unaccounted for, according to the civil protection agency, were one of Lynch’s U.S. lawyers, Christopher Morvillo of Clifford Chance, and Morvillo’s wife. Also among the missing was Jonathan Bloomer, the former head of the Autonomy audit committee who testified at Lynch’s trial, and his wife.

Among the survivors was Charlotte Golunski, who said she momentarily lost hold of her 1-year-old daughter Sofia in the water, but then managed to hold her up over the waves until a lifeboat inflated and they were both pulled to safety, Italian news agency ANSA reported. The father, identified by ANSA as James Emslie, also survived.

The Italian coast guard said Thursday the body of British tech magnate Mike Lynch is among those recovered off the coast of Sicily from the wreckage of a superyacht whose builders had called it unsinkable.

The bodies of Lynch and four others were recovered by rescue crews. One woman remains missing.

The Bayesian, a 184-foot British-flagged yacht, went down in a storm early Monday as it was moored about half a mile offshore. Civil protection officials said they believe the ship was struck by a tornado over the water, known as a waterspout, and sank quickly.

Fifteen of the 22 people aboard survived, including a mother who reported holding her 1-year-old baby over the waves to save her.

Lynch had been celebrating his recent acquittal on fraud charges with his family and the people who had defended him at trial in the United States.

Divers have struggled to find the bodies.

“We would need a crystal ball to know when we'll be able to find the next body," said Luca Cari, spokesperson for the fire rescue service.

“It's very difficult to move inside the wreckage. Moving just one meter can take up to 24 hours,” Cari said.

What is a "Private Sail"?

A Private Sail is a sailing experience for just you and your peeps (up to 6 of you), along with the captain/crew. You won’t be sailing with strangers, and you’ll have the entire yacht to yourselves! All sails are now Private Sails due to COVID-19.

Where do we meet and where do we sail?

You will board the sailing yacht, “Roux Stir” at West End.

She will be docked on the right hand side as you are approaching the Southern Yacht Club.  You will be texted a map a few hours before your sail.

Closest GPS address is 101 N. Roadway Dr.  New Orleans 70124 .  This is actually the address for the NOLA Community Sailing Center.  We are on the other side of the parking lot from this location.  See the map.  Free parking can usually be found just a few steps from the boat.

Once onboard, we’ll sail on the southside of Lake Pontchartrain, which is Louisiana’s largest inland body of water, located less than 9 miles from the French Quarter.

What should I wear to go sailing? What shoes?

Be comfortable! It’s often a little cooler on water than on land, so be mindful of that. Bare feet, sandals and/or tennis shoes are recommended. Please wear soft-soled, non-marking shoes. Leave your high heels, dress shoes and boots at home.

What should I bring?

Sunglasses are a must! And bring your camera or phone to capture those moments!

Sunscreen and hats are great. We have seats under the canopy should you not wish to be in direct sunlight.

During the cooler months, warm layers and jackets are best. We have blankets and rain jackets onboard for guests to use when the weather gets chilly, rainy or if you just need a little extra comfort.

We offer complimentary drinks and light snacks onboard.

What snacks and drinks are offered onboard?

All sails include complimentary drinks and light snacks. Snacks include individualized packages of Zapp’s chips and popcorn.  Drinks include, local craft beer, white wine, and non-alcoholic beverages, including water.  You have the opportunity to add-on other options when booking.

Can I bring my own alcohol?

Cold local craft beer and white wine are complimentary during your sail.   Champagne is offered for purchase ($20 per bottle).  We ask that you limit your drinks to what we have onboard.

If you must bring your own alcohol please do not bring any red wine or daiquiris.   We don’t serve red wine or anything that stains and we ask that you do not bring any either.   If it will stain your clothes, it will stain the white fiberglass on the boat.  We will not allow red wine, punch, or juices that stain to be brought onboard.

Is outside food allowed?

Can i connect my phone to the boat how do i control the music.

While you will not be able to connect your phone directly to the boat via Bluetooth or audio cable, you will have full control over the music selection as well as the volume.  You may choose to listen to the boat sailing through the water or you can “turn it up”.

As an alternative,  you may request a Sirius XM channel to be played which will provide you with just volume control.

(Read below if you want an excessive amount of details regarding the music/music system.)

You may sit anywhere on the boat and become the D.J.  You will use our mini iPad to control a subscription of Spotify premium.  This will allow you to easily select any artist, album, song, or playlist without any advertisements.  The volume is under your control.  You may also pause or skip songs from the ipad or one of the two conveniently mounted remotes.

Need music suggestions? Captain Doug has several playlists to choose from such as his version of Yacht Rock, Yacht R&B, Hip-Hop, and others.

You may create your own Spotify playlist prior to boarding, Captain Doug will ask you to share your playlist with him via text.  You will then be given full control over your playlist with no advertisements.

We only use Spotify. No other streaming service such as Apple Music or YouTube can be connected.

The system contains 8 exterior speakers and reaches high volume with clarity.  Whether it’s Frank Sinatra or Lil Wayne, the choice is yours.   You may play any music you like, at any volume you like, once we are on the lake.

Please understand, Captain Doug will control the volume and keep it down while departing or approaching the dock.  We do our best to not disturb any live music being played as well as respect those dining outside.

Whether you enjoy a little background music or you want to pretend you are in a night club, you are in for an audible treat.

Is sailing comfortable?

Yes indeed! You’re sailing on a 13-ton yacht, which makes for an extremely stable and smooth ride. Enjoy sitting on the deck or hanging out under the canopy. Below the deck you will find a spacious seating lounge for your enjoyment.  A very clean and easy to use head (bathroom) can be found below.

Are kids welcome to sail with us?

Yes, kids of all ages are welcome when you book your group sail. And of course we provide comfortable life jackets for all passengers. U.S. Coast Guard requires all children under the age of 13 to wear a life jacket while underway unless they are below deck or in an enclosed cabin.

Is it safe?

Captain Doug is a certified U.S. Coast Guard Master Captain with over 40 years of sailing experience on Lake Pontchartrain.  All proper safety equipment per the U.S. Coast Guard requirements are onboard. In addition to the safety equipment required, we also have comfortable life jackets if you would like to wear one. Children under the age of 13 are required by state law to wear life jackets while underway.

FYI: Lake Pontchartrain has an average water depth of only 14 feet.

What if I get seasick?

If you’re prone to motion sickness, there are products you can purchase at most convenience stores that will help. If you suddenly become seasick while underway, we offer some natural remedies that may help.  Please let the captain know.

COVID-19 and Beyond - Your Safety Comes First - Cleanliness of this Yacht

All sails are now private and contact-free.  Your small party, plus the captain and sometimes a first mate, when needed.

• The points of contact within our boat cockpit and interior are sprayed with CDC approved disinfectant, and wiped down thoroughly before and after every sail.
• We have fresh water available in the kitchen and bathroom sinks.  We encourage our customers along with staff to wash their hands with soap.
• We have hand sanitizer available and ready for use by customers and staff.
• We do not have a dishwasher on board to ensure the high heat sterilization of our reusable glassware (corkcicles).  Therefore, for now, beverages will be served in disposable drinkware or aluminum cans.

Update March 2, 2022:

The city discontinued the mask mandate indoors at most public facilities for those that are vaccinated.  Therefore, a mask is no longer required if you are vaccinated.   Captain and crew are fully vaccinated for Covid-19.  We want all of our customers to be comfortable. Therefore, the Captain and crew will wear a mask if requested to do so. At this time, we aren’t asking guests for proof of vaccination.

What if there is light wind or no wind?

If the wind is light, we will motor sail. You can move around the boat freely in these conditions, taking it all in. We cruise regardless of the wind conditions, as long as it is safe to do so.

What if it rains?

In New Orleans especially during the summer months, rain and thunderstorms are isolated and usually short lived. However, if it’s an actual weather system with potentially unsafe conditions, the captain will cancel at his discretion, and reschedules or refunds will be provided. You are protected by our Worry-Free Weather Guarantee.

Can you accommodate disabilities?

At this time, you will need to be able to climb steps to come aboard.

What is the largest group you can take on a trip?

Our yacht carries the status of a “recreational vessel”.   This means the U.S. Coast Guard mandates we have six passengers or less, not including the crew. Children of all ages must be counted.

Can we smoke onboard?

There are locations on the boat deck where you can smoke.  Captain Doug will help identify the best location for you to smoke for the comfort of all others onboard. Smoking is not permitted below the deck at anytime.

What is your refund and cancellation policy?

When you book, you are reserving the entire boat and no one else can book any type of sailing experience during that time.  Therefore, we require a minimum of 7 days notice for a 100% refund on private sails.

Are you able to provide a totally custom experience for me and my group?

Yes!  Whether you are popping the question, celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or planning a unique family adventure we can customize any sail to make it an experience to remember.  Simply give us a call at 504.910.7245 (910-SAIL) or email us [email protected]

Shoud I tip?

The greatest gift you can give is an honest review on Google, Trip Advisor (Viator), or AirBnB Experiences.

However, many customers do extend gratuities. Gratuities can be given at the end of your experience in cash, Venmo (@Captain-Doug), or CASHAPP ($neworleansyacht)  Venmo will ask for the last 4 digits of phone number.  Please use 4202.    Gratuities are always greatly appreciated and shared with the team.

The moon is not just gray, new images show: ‘real color differences’.

Once in a blue moon might be more common than we thought.

New images show that our moon is way more colorful than just shades of gray. Instead, the orbital rock was observed to show tints of both blue and red.

The European Space Agency’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer — abbreviated to Juice — snapped hue-filled photos of the lunar surface before it returned to Earth Tuesday.

They were taken from the craft’s Janus camera recently during a historic flyby of both the Earth and moon before plotting a course toward Venus in 2025 and Jupiter in 2031.

“The image shows some sign of real color differences in the large-scale features on the lunar surface,” the agency announced .

Newly released photos show the mares of the moon — flatlands of surface far from either pole — were found to emit a more bluish color.

An ESA spokesperson told the Telegraph that “darker regions” in the Mare Fecunditatis — next to the Apollo 11 landing site known as the Sea of Tranquility — “are related to terrains which were resurfaced by volcanic activity.”

Spotted by Apollo 15 astronauts almost half a century ago , the volcanic traces — also known as basaltic compositions — piqued the interest of a Janus operator, who saw some reds there as well.

“There are subtly different real hues from lunar basalts [blueish] and lava flows [reddish], and lots of color in some lunar samples,” Andrew Coates, a physics professor and the co-investigator of the camera, told the outlet.

While the ESA billed the differences as a “darker grey, light grey and even lighter grey,” Coates said that “it does look like there are some apparent real color differences.”

He noted that the basalt areas “are less reflective compared to the other brighter terrains” on the moon.

Those more vivid land masses are known as elevated highlands — a rugged landing site used by Apollo 16.

“Subtle color differences can occur due to slight differences in composition,” he said, adding that the sun’s light and camera calibration might be playing a role in the new images.

“It’s worth saying that the Janus cameras should get better images and with better calibration,” Coates said.

“So we’ll probably have to wait until September to know how real this is — but nevertheless it is interesting to see.”
