“we are thrilled to be working with eatout ( @ eatoutkenya ) and the various restaurants taking part in nairobi restaurant week to connect with their local communities . using the hashtag # nrw2015 , twitter will help you discover new dining experiences around the city and let you get closer to your favourite restaurants , ” said bindiya shah ( @ bindi ) , partnerships manager , twitter africa .
in 2011 , we raised $ 100 , 000 . and in 2012 , i decided to look into the same model but for accommodation spaces . we raised $ 200 000 , and then in 2013 again we raised another $ 200 , 000 for eatout . we will be in another round of funding and this time we are raising about $ 1m for each of the businesses .
mikul is the managing director at eatout ( urltoken ) , the regions largest online restaurant guide which he founded in 2010 . he is a serial entrepreneur with over 15 years experience in mature and emerging markets . he currently serves as an advisor to safaricom ' s spark fund and has been involved with several other organisations including naked pizza , urltoken & 88mph as an investor and / or advisor .
mikul shah , founder and ceo welcomed the idea saying “eatout has always aimed to be at the forefront of disruptive innovation . # nrw2015 will provide a new marketing tool for restaurants to communicate to the new generation of diners in kenya . we’ve worked together on a training guide and hope that restaurants use it to their advantage . i guess it’s our way of thanking the restaurants who have supported the restaurant week campaign . ”
what did happen is , about a year down the line , we won numerous awards , and because of kenya ict board was sort of pushing venture capitalists and angel funds to come into kenya and look at what the startup scene is like , we managed to get in front of a number of vc’s , and we were able to pitch our concept . we managed to raise a round of funding for eatout with the aim to build a more scalable revenue model .
but we managed to get them on board . after a few months , i realized that this is not a hobby , i could actually pursue this . so , i hired one person and together in 2010 we launched eatout , two people ; one handling the accounting and reservations . and , believe it or not in 2010 , we were getting one reservation a week coming through our website . so now we are into our fourth year and we are doing a thousand reservations a day at the moment .
the blog awards showcase the amazing talents of the foodie community in kenya . our aim at eatout and yummy magazine is support individuals who are helping put kenya on a global map as one of the best culinary destinations in africa . our country has some of the most amazing produce and the restaurant scene is on par with major cities all over the world growing . our ceo , mikul shah was delighted to be a judge and had a difficult task to help pick the five finalists from hundreds of entires .
my name is mikul shah , ceo of eatout . i hold positions in a few other companies . urltoken is one that received a lot of attention recently . i was born in mombasa . i lived there until i completed my a - level education . then i moved to the uk for my university studies and ended up settling there . i lived there for over ten years , in london . i attended university in manchester . and then in 2009 when i started my family and had my first son , i made a decision to move to nairobi .
there is absolutely no reason for focusing on hospitality . like i said , i am very keen as a consumer on food and travel . i love traveling and going to restaurants and trying new foods , whether it is on the side of the streets or five star hotels . so eatout was the entry . then i met my co - founder for sleepout , who have moved their offices to mauritius for banking and taxation purposes . so , we got together and he said that he was looking into doing something very similar to me in the accommodation space , and he had done a small pilot in lamu . and i thought that it could be very difficult to do both of these things . so i was happy to use the eatout brand and do an extension of that . last year , we did a quick launch of our website just to get the brand out there . however , the new platform which is urltoken and not urltoken has already attracted hosts from 30 countries world wide , from brazil to cape verde and we are starting to see bookings coming in through the new platform as well which is completely electronic . )
visa has partnered with eatout , east africa ' s largest online restaurant guide as the title sponsor of the second edition of the burger festival in nairobi , mombasa cities in kenya and kampala city in uganda in a bid to foster partnerships and improve card usage for purchases . the partnership aims to encourage consumers to use their visa card . the nairobi and mombasa visa burger festivals run from 08 may to 14 may , and the kampala visa burger festival runs from 15 to 21 may . visa card holders can get two burgers for the price of one at over 90 participating restaurants during the festival .
at the moment our business model is changing completely . however , up until now we charge an annual subscription fee , very high in my opinion . it locks out a lot of restaurants willing to participate with eatout . henceforth , we are moving into a smaller subscription fee , but then a transaction fee for every booking , or every spend within a restaurant we get a small cut which will be about one or two percent of what the customer is spending . it is a very scalable model and that is the model we are progressively launching in ten cities in africa . we are looking at egypt , south africa , mauritius , uganda , tanzania , rwanda , burundi and ethiopia .
eat out kenya has won the award for best digital media platform at the 2 nd kenya tourism awards .
“today’s awards thus serves as recognition of the role the industry plays and contributes to the country’s economy through the sector gdp’s portfolio of 11 % , ” minister mwazo said .
the minister noted that despite the traditional source markets that take a bigger share in contributing to the total tourist arrivals to the country , africa and emerging markets have shown remarkable growth in the recent past , an indication that the region has growth potential .
ktb board member patricia ithau said the inclusion of media in the awards is meant to recognize its role in exposing kenya as a tourist destination both to local and international audiences . she said : “ktb takes cognizance of the fact that without the media , its role as a marketing agency would not be fully realised . ”
gfk has launched its annual viewscape study in africa , showing how the rise of digital platforms is transforming consumers’ viewing habits .

mikul shah , a nairobi based serial internet entrepreneur , earlier this year spoke to startup academy about a business that started as a hobby , how startups can increase their chances of attracting investors , why a business is a business , whether offline or online and why , for his first company , going mobile is not the top priority .

one of my biggest passions is food , and restaurants . my background in education is it . i spent over ten years in technology . but , like i said , my passion is going out to restaurants and trying new foods . when i came to nairobi , i was completely shocked that there was no online platform or mobile app that would tell you which restaurants to go to , and what sorts of cuisine are available and what customers are saying .
in terms of technology , at least when we started i felt that was a very easy thing to do . it was just collecting a bunch of content and putting it together on a platform and hence , it kind of started as a complete hobby . in 2009 , i approached a number of restaurant owners and said , “hey , would you need to stay on this platform ? ” . most of them said , “yes , but you are crazy , it is not going to work” .
actually , we were profitable on day one . all the restaurants we had piloted with immediately , when we said we were launching , paid us the annual fee and so from pretty much day one , we had two employees and we had 20 clients who were paying us . so we were profitable on day one .
the main thing is , if you look at things from the investors’ point of view , they are not here to donate money and give away charity , they are here to make a massive return with the money that they are putting into the business . obviously , if you already have a solid business , then it is quite comforting for an investor to say they are already making money , they know what they are doing .
when it comes to what is happening in the current scene , there are two things , and i certainly don’t think that either one is better or not : there is taking a route down competition and grants . like i said we have won numerous competitions and some big value grants ; like a world bank grant of $ 50 000 that kick started some of the things we wanted to do .
however , a lot of the sort of entrepreneurs are not too serious about their business and they are really competing to win grants and competitions . if they fail to win , they close down the business because they rely heavily on that sort of funding .
i like the model where somebody is getting something out of putting some money into your business . so , my preference would be investors who are looking for equity swaps or convertible debts where if they are giving me some money , they are taking something out of the business .
obviously , what else they can bring apart from the money is very important ; the network , the knowledge to help you grow your business . but , generally , i think there are sort of two or three really important things ; i think the most important thing is the team . a lot of the times , we think we have a brilliant idea , we are going to change the world . however , we don’t have the experience . so , it is more important that the idea will change and adapt over time because business requirements change , conditions change , and the environment changes . so , how do you adapt your initial business idea so that once you decide to execute it things change by the go .
generally investors really look out for entrepreneurs who are able to adapt according to what is happening . and rarely do you see an idea is completely sold without a team . one of the biggest mistakes that i feel especially with our tech community , and i mention this a lot of times with teams that i mentor , is that , if you are a group of four people in a startup , ideally you should not be four techies because you are missing a lawyer , a salesperson and a marketing person . and that’s your perfect team because to run a successful business is not about you building the technology . and we have learnt the hard way that we need a strong sales team , a strong marketing team . at some occasions we’ve been really hurt by not having a strong legal team . so , in my opinion , that is what techies are missing out on . they think that because they can build a fantastic product they will be able to sell , to market and to scale it and they don’t have that expertise . at the end of the day , they are techies . so , techies should stick to doing what they do best but the entire team in a business should be much more than just techies .
in 2011 , we won an award with samsung for the best entertainment application . we signed a contract with a provider who is working with samsung so we will be pre - embedded on every samsung device in the market . also , currently we are in the final stages of developing our native android app . but we have been on the mobile platform for quite sometime .
unfortunately for us , for our target demographic , mobile is not the absolute necessity . our target demographic generally has a computer at home , a computer at work and a smart phone . hence , they all play an equal part , so we don’t really need to focus absolutely on mobile . but with smart phones becoming bigger and better over time , it is a big part of what we do . our website is actually more important than moving into mobile . however , we have been in mobile from the very beginning .
you founded urltoken , then co - founded urltoken , urltoken , you are also part of naked pizza among other entities . is there a particular reason why you focus on the hospitality industry ?
there is no legislation that is easily available . with brick and mortar businesses , everybody knows the right , wrong and legal ways of doing it . to be honest , for us , there hasn’t been a massive problem . i think we operate pretty much like an offline business , it is just that our channel is online . i think that is important to note as well that a business is a business , whether it is online or offline , and certain business fundamentals have to be in place ; customer service , product knowledge , simple things like accounting and running an office , taxation and legal matters , all have to be in place . first we treat our company as a business , just the fact that it is online is not so important to us here . obviously , it has gotten us a lot of attention , because we are successful in the online space , but , at the end of the day it is just another business .
is a place where we share stories , information and resources that inspire and inform entrepreneurs .

while access to capital is still a widespread issue in africa , these ventures successfully raised significant amounts ( us $ 500 , 000 + ) so far in 2017 .
in 2016 , african or africa - focused startups raised between $ 129 million and $ 367 million , according to reports from disrupt africa and partech ventures .
perhaps unsurprisingly , given promising macro trends across african markets ( e . g . , increasing mobile / smartphone / internet penetration rates , a gradual rise of the middle & consumer class , rapid urbanization , and strong working - age population growth ) , the momentum continues into 2017 with entrepreneurs and investors in africa & beyond continuing to explore and exploit opportunities for progress and profit across the continent .
unicaf , an online education platform & operator of higher education learning centers , raised $ 12 million from kenya’s savannah fund , new york’s university ventures , and uk development - finance institution , cdc group .
kenya’s twiga foods , a b2b m - commerce platform , raised a $ 10 . 3 million series a round led by dubai’s wamda capital .
flutterwave , an api - driven fintech platform , raised a $ 10 + million series a round co - led by new york’s greycroft partners and san francisco’s green visor capital , with silicon valley’s y combinator also participating .
nigeria’s urltoken , an online marketplace for used cars , raised a $ 5 million series a round from berlin’s frontier car group ( a holding company backed by london’s balderton capital , london’s tpg growth , lagos’s echovc , and silicon valley’s nea . )
kenya’s powergen , a renewable energy provider , raised a $ 4 . 5 million series a round led by dutch family office , dob equity with kenya’s ahl venture partners also participating .
morocco’s waystocap , a cross - border b2b e - commerce platform , raised ~ $ 3 million from silicon valley’s y combinator , waltham’s battery ventures , silicon valley’s soma capital , new york’s palm drive capital , palo alto’s amino capital , new york’s story ventures , san francisco’s lynett capital , and others .
kenyan - headquartered bitpesa , a virtual currency payment platform , raised a $ 2 . 5 million series a round led by silicon valley’s draper associates , with participation from new york’s greycroft partners and others .
south africa’s hearx , a hearing - focused digital health firm , raised a $ 2 . 8 + million seed round , including $ 500k in grants .
nigeria’s tizeti , a high - speed wireless internet provider , raised $ 2 . 1 million from california - based venture - debt firm , western technology investment , silicon valley’s social capital , dubai’s vy capital , san francisco’s lynett capital and others .
kenya’s alternative circle , the fintech - focused parent company of mobile micro - loan app , shika , raised a $ 1 . 1 million strategic investment from iceland - based credit risk management company , creditinfo group , related to data generated .
kenya’s bamba , a mobile - driven data collection startup , raised a $ 1 . 1 million seed round from silicon valley’s draper associates , colorado’s foundry group , san francisco’s right side capital , and others .
ghana’s omg digital , a viral media company , raised a $ 1 . 1 million seed round from san francisco’s comcast ventures , silicon valley’s soma capital & social capital , and others .
south africa’s aerobotics , a data analytics company leveraging drones , raised a $ 600 , 000 + seed round from kenya’s savannah fund and south africa’s 4di capital .
uganda’s ensibuuko , a provider of cloud - based finance software for non - bank financial institutions , raised $ 500 , 000 from canadian investor , ed levinson .
tanzania’s jamii , an m - health insurance provider , also raised a $ 750 , 000 seed round , reportedly comprised of 50 % in grants .
though perhaps not as driven by tech as the ventures above , it’s also worth noting that kenya’s africa logistics properties , a developer , acquirer , and manager of logistics warehouses , raised $ 4 million from dutch family office , dob equity , and nigeria’s tomato jos , an agricultural production company , raised $ 2 . 1 million from vestedworld .
in addition , tala and d . light , which target african markets but have significant operations elsewhere , also received funding in 2017 . tala , a provider of smartphone - based micro - loans , raised a $ 30 + million series b round led by silicon valley’s ivp , with participation from new york’s collaborative fund & lowercase capital , and others , and d . light , an off - grid solar energy solutions provider focused on africa & asia , raised $ 5 from norway’s norfund . ( iflix , a subscription video - on - demand service , and taxify , a ride - hailing uber competitor , which are both present in african markets , also raised significant rounds . )
fintech players flutterwave , bitpesa , alternative circle , and ensibuuko all raised significant amounts in 2017 . with africa - focused fintech startups raising $ 30 - 70 million in 2016 ( approximately one - fifth to one - fourth of total funds raised by african startups in 2016 across all sectors ) , including zoona’s $ 15 million series b and branch international’s $ 9 + million series a , the sector continues to receive significant investor attention . in all , african fintech startups have raised in excess of $ 100 million since 2015 .
among the list of investors above a few names are quite active in africa , appearing multiple times . draper associates , led by tim draper , invested in both bitpesa and bamba in 2017 . but that’s not all . tim draper was among the earliest investors in nigeria’s paga in 2012 , and through draper dark flow , alongside toro orero , he has invested in various startups across the continent including nigeria’s paystack , south africa’s sweepsouth , and ghana’s swiftly . ( draper and orero are also involved with the african startup institute , launching in march 2018 , which will offer personalized entrepreneurial training in lagos , nigeria . )
we’ve always believed in the potential of the market . i expect we make more investments in africa over the next five years than the last 10 .
in addition , silicon valley’s y combinator , soma capital , & social capital , as well as san francisco’s lynett capital ( also an investor in flutterwave’s 2016 seed round ) all appear more than once . as does kenya’s savannah fund .
the fact of the matter is that africa is one of the toughest and least forgiving capital raising environments , and the time and effort spent on it has ‘killed’ or at least really held back many great teams and ideas . – ido sum , investor
while the list above makes it clear that finding funding is far from impossible for the right teams with the right ideas & execution , it should still be highlighted that access to capital , whether in ‘significant’ amounts or otherwise , is still a real issue for promising , high - potential teams across africa .
“focused exclusively on technology enabled solutions and innovation serving sub saharan africa ( ssa ) . ”
i want [ to support ] african online businesses … i think e - commerce , internet , big data is the future . you can never stop it . you like it or don’t like it . but you will never stop it .


icue ltd is a british company focused on using mobile phone ( cellphone ) technology to deliver written word content , that is , books and other publications .

the technology takes the form of a java application which is downloaded to the user handset via cellular wireless networks .

once downloaded , the user can access all books on their mobile phone at any time , with or without wireless network coverage .

the program is freely available from icue , when accessed from a united kingdom network .

books are read using one of three techniques : flicker , ticker or page .

icue has partnerships with many of the uk 's largest publishing houses including penguin , harper collins , pan macmillan , random house , egmont , transworld , a&c black and kogan page .

these partnerships provide icue users with access to books from diverse writers such as philip pullman , julie burchill , and charles dickens .

funds from the sale of books are split between the publishers , mobile network suppliers , and icue .

icue is a private business co-owned by senior management and benchmark capital , a uk-based venture capital firm .

part of the profits from the business will be used to fund charities that focus on improving reading skills amongst uk teenagers and adults .

lucinda bridges is the daughter of lloyd and dorothy bridges and sister of jeff and beau bridges . she is enthusiastic about joining icue as a special guest and plans to share captivating stories about the man we all knew and aspire to as deep sea adventurers .
what makes icue stand out from many of the other 50 - plus functions of a mobile that are often ignored is ease of use . it has done for books what shozu has done for transferring photos from a phone to a website : it has made the operation very easy to do . for that alone it deserves some success .
icue is initially doing quite a bit of marketing but also hopes that word of mouth or viral marketing will come into play since you can send the first chapter of a book you like to a friend free . otherwise the library of books - which ranges from julie burchill to philip pullman - will cost up to £4 . 50 each .
this application is completely missing any security feature to limit who connects to the icue setup . if i were to run this in a live environment , i would want a password protection option so that people can ' t just download the remote app and start controlling the prompters at a press conference when they ' re on a wireless network .
in 1969 , naui launched the international conference on underwater education ( icue or simply iq ) . the conference became a yearly diving event , predating the dema show by several years . divers and instructors from across the globe attended , and iq became so popular that registration finally had to be limited . the location was usually a large hotel that could accommodate the crowds .
the company has plans to try to capture the elusive youth market , which is notoriously difficult to persuade to buy books , and there are also opportunities for developing countries . the person behind icue , marc lewis , who has the majority of the shares , is giving his proceeds to charity . other shares are owned by senior management and benchmark capital , a british venture capital firm .
iq 2017 was held in conjunction with the scuba show in long beach , california , on may 6 & 7 . after nearly two decades of silence , the international conference on underwater education ( icue ) re - emerged at the long beach scuba show with a loud and definitive statement that naui’s commitment to quality education for divers has not diminished . spread over three days , icue 2017 offered everything from a connection with diving legends to engaging and informative presentations spanning topics as diverse as diving in antarctica and creating a culture of diving leadership that produces positive growth . use the linked images below to get a recap of the weekend ' s events and access the iq 2017 proceedings . images and posts can also be found on the official naui facebook page and by searching

housed in the college of education at the university of north carolina at charlotte welcomes you the website of the biennial international conference on urban education ( icue ) . this solutions - based conference is a global gathering of people who want to see our youth in urban schools reach their full potential . we welcome you to consider serving as a sponsor or exhibitor or simply attend the conference to learn how you can make a difference .
starting up was surprisingly easy . you simply send a text message to 64888 with the word icue typed into the text section . you soon receive another text message inviting you to click on a web address . after three or four clicks you are on its website and free to choose from a number of books . i chose the free one , charles dickens ' a christmas carol , and opted to store it on a memory card rather than on the phone itself . it is claimed to work on most cameraphones .
look no further - i ' ve tried a few of them and this is the best teleprompter on the appstore with great features . combined with its icue remote app , it is just what you are looking for . however , the menus and buttons are a bit dated and hope the developer would spruce the ui to make it look like an ios app . also , when i switch the remote to gestures mode , three is no way to switch it back to button mode - i have to uninstall and reinstall the app to reset it . please fix this .
it works ok , sometimes has syncing issues when using two ipads at once with a 3rd ipad or iphone as the remote . this application is completely missing any security feature to limit who connects to the icue setup . if i were to run this in a live environment , i would want a password protection option so that people can ' t just download the remote app and start controlling the prompters at a press conference when they ' re on a wireless network . sure i can set up my own separate network / ap and have that password protected , but thats one more thing to haul around / set up when most buildings i would be using this in already have an enterprise wifi environment deployed .
n recent years , i have kept a list of all the functions packaged into a mobile phone that could in principle be sold separately . the tally is now more than 50 and includes well - used functions such as cameras , browsers , emailers , video and music players as well as offbeat uses in asia such as electronic insect repellents . this week , i must add another : books . or maybe i should say libraries because icue , which was launched yesterday , claims to enable users to download and keep up to 400 books on a normal mobile phone memory card , a literary rival to apple ' s ipod . if this proves popular , it could open up new vistas for reading , with the chance of capturing people who don ' t currently read books . it has been possible before to download books or parts of books , but never on this scale .
new feature : ftp sharing new feature : any changes made in the style menu will be sent to connected remotes , including icue remote and other icues . this will keep both files in sync as changes are made . new feature : any changes made when formatting ranges of text in edit mode will be sent to connected devices . new feature : any text changes , adding characters , deleting characters , etc , will be sent to connected devices . this will allow text changes on the fly , that update all connected devices real time without the need to resend the file . new feature : when using the ios remote feature , devices communicate which version is being used and the user is notified if they need to update the app . fixed problem that could make markers get out of sync while changing line spacing or indentation . fixed a problem that could cause the app to crash when opening settings menus quickly . fixed a problem that could display strange characters after unicode characters in rtf files created with word . for example ü might be followed by an extra ' 9f . fixed a problem that would not display the text correctly while the text is mirrored during editing . fixed a problem that would not display the text mirrored after rotating device . fixed a problem that would prevent text from scrolling completely during editing , while connected to external monitor . fixed a problem that could cause a crash when launching the app , preventing access completely . removed script feature from applewatch that would display the text on the watch and allow scrolling with the crown . this will be reintroduced at a later date .
it didn ' t take long to download and i was soon choosing from among three ways of reading it : full screen , words scrolling continuously across the screen or - the recommended way - a succession of single words flashing on the screen . there is a slight pause after full stops and a smaller one after commas . apparently it is a method used by the american air force and takes about four minutes to get accustomed to . people who have used it claim it is twice as fast as ordinary reading .
it takes some getting used to but you can adjust the size of the text and the speed at which new words appear to suit your needs by using the navigation bar of the phone with the menu on the screen . you can pause at any moment by hitting any key . it remembers where you are and can do fast forward or rewind .
there are some obvious problems , such as whether you need to keep the screen lit up all the time to read , which would be rather heavy on the battery , but otherwise there is no reason why this should not be a breakthrough in the use of mobile phones .
you can , of course , already download novels , plays and poetry as audio books to your ipod or phone . this is very much a niche market and hasn ' t caught on in a big way . the same may happen to phone text books . everything will depend on consumer reaction . but a lot of people who don ' t want to carry a book with them all the time on the offchance they may have some free time to read it might be attracted by having one on their phones that they can return to at odd moments .

connect with the naui community to learn more about the oceans and opportunities for exploring them around the world .
the overall purpose of the conferences was “making diving safer . ” each iq lasted several days and were filled with presentations and seminars on all aspects of diving and the business of diving : the latest ideas and developments in educational theory and practice , diving sciences , equipment improvements , diving medicine , retailing and travel . each year’s abstracts and papers were published in a volume of iq proceedings .
papers on topics such as emergency skills , first aid , teaching techniques , team teaching , physics and physiology , younger students and special - needs students , store / instructor ties , specialty diving ( cave , ice , wreck , etc . ) and diving hobbies were solicited and welcomed . in other words , the same areas that concerned them in the 1970s concern us today .
historically , this event was regarded as the best educational experience available in the international diving community . the exhibit halls were always filled with booths displaying the wares and offerings of equipment manufacturers , retailers , travel vendors and resorts . an underwater photography contest and exhibit was always a popular attraction .
when the annual dema show began in the late 1970s , it started to siphon off some of the attendance at iq . it was difficult for most people to afford the time and expense to attend two such major events each year . the last iq was held in 2000 and was sponsored by naui asia pacific in kuala lumpur .
today , scuba is again in a period of change . new challenges to maintaining and growing the popularity of our sport , changing methods and approaches to teaching and learning , new frontiers in diving technology and techniques , including development and popularization of specialty diving fields , new marketing techniques and the use of media options need the attention of all of us .
for all these reasons , naui is revisiting and bringing back iq with two days of presentations and seminars to be held in conjunction with the 2018 scuba show in long beach , california .
stay tuned for updates on special events and making arrangements to attend . for event location details ,
as part of this year’s program , we have several events that will recognize the legacy and contributions made to scuba diving by lloyd bridges and the cast of sea hunt in honor of the show’s 60 th anniversary year .
memorabilia that fills the restaurant . see bottom page section for details on door prizes and silent auctions .
california’s nelson’s restaurant is named in honor of mike nelson , the hero from the ‘sea hunt’ tv series ( 1958 - 61 ) . the adventure show captivated audiences with the vast pacific ocean coastline serving as one of sea hunt’s filming locations . just north of los angeles , at the former marineland of the pacific and now terranea resort , nelson’s is situated near the bluff overlooking the craggy coast . the restaurant’s walls have entertaining posters from many of the episodes , all action - packed with the legendary mike nelson as the champion . click here to reserve your seat at the sea hunt table !
seating is limited and registration is required . for additional event and payment details , contact shannon mccoy at + 1 813 - 628 - 6284 .

i did not do a sea hunt adventure with my father the week it was scheduled . i came down with a cold ! mom wouldn’t let me go seeing as i was 6 years old , and of course , the episode involved being trapped somewhere in the ocean . i did however have the joy of working with my father in other television series : the lloyd bridges show and the loner .
we also spent time in summer theater back east . while i enjoyed acting , i chose the ' family route ' of homemaker , having three children . they’re now all grown up . my brothers and i were christened at the edge of the ocean so to speak , rolling in the surf with our parents .
we still have a family beach house in malibu . we’ve had it since 1959 when there were only about 10 homes from point to point . the visibility was beautiful back then . i still live in malibu , up in the mountains , and enjoy traveling ( especially to islands ! ) , making art , and keeping up with helping our planet during these challenging times .
