Hi friends,

Wanted to let folks know that there now is a way to reserve SCOW boats from iPhones and iPads. (The Faces online boat reservation system that we use, works using Java that isn't readily available on iPhones and iPads.)

 

There's an application now available for $2.99 in the apple app store called "Cloud Browse". Through that application you can run a secure SSL connection to browsers that run the java code needed to use Faces (http://faces.ccrc.uga.edu). I'll warn that the application doesn't have great reviews, because even after you've paid $3 bucks for it, it will only allow you to use that application for a 10 minute interval at a time unless you also subscribe for a monthly fee or yearly fee. Still, 10 minutes is about all you'll need to log into faces and reserve a boat. Their user interface isn't superb, but it is functional. Luis and I have both tested it out, and it works for us.

Hope this is a help to some folks. Cheers and fair winds!
