I'm from the coast, into surf/sailing.
Ideas:
- openmoko attached to bouys, phones home with bouy angle, wave forces
- openmoko race application, allow other boats to watch speed, position,
and accel forces on race participants (would be cool to see graphic of
boat hitting waves and the angle while close hauled, other boats could
view visualization when a gust hits a competitor)
- openmoko in moored yacht, alert/webserve info on forces on boat,
similar detect if boat is drifting away from mooring

Subject: Idea for Openmoko application: Tide updates
Surfers, fisherpeople, and I'm sure others care about the tides. Turns
out there are websites and applications that provide this data. For a
nice review:

Something like this would seem to be ideal for Openmoko, especially with
GPS.
Anyone interested?
