Destination: Trent Severn Waterway ONE MORE TIME!

Just when you thought you might never see the Galley Guys again, there they were waving from the flying bridge of a Le Boat Horizon 3 gliding down the Trent Severn Waterway (TSW) in the sun. Glorious!
In the past the Galley Guys have travelled far and wide to great locations to explore the good life on a boat. However, this year we stayed in our own backyard for a real treat; cruising The Trent Severn Waterway.
How to Buy the Boat of Your Dreams for Under $10,000
By John Morris
It’s about time we took a fresh approach to some additional boat show buying experiences. Reading expert budget advice won’t get you anywhere. Consider a new approach to see some boats and…yes, buy one!
Let’s say that across Canada 100,000 boaters attend boat shows. That’s probably low but for this exercise accuracy would be an unnecessary burden. The secret is numbers.

Pets on Boats How-to Guide
By Mathew Channer
There’s no question that boating adventures are even more enjoyable when we bring our furry friends along, both for us and for them. Whenever I go out in the bowrider, my Alaskan Malamute, Nya, runs straight up front, her ears tucked flat against the wind as we race across the lake. My mother and Kira, her golden retriever, spent 18 months sailing up the US eastern seaboard. Back home, my father’s Jack Russell Terrier, Sparky, is first mate on his liveaboard catamaran, where he keeps a watchful eye for any birds trying to land on the rigging.

New Ideas: It’s a Dock; It’s a Boat – Terraflo
Here at OnBoard, we see a string of new boating products but rarely is there one that falls into an entirely new category. And a Canadian one at that!
Terraflo, a family-run Quebec-based company that builds unique handcrafted pontoon docks that are also boats under certain circumstances. Here’s how it works – Like a conventional pontoon boat, the floating support comes from Floating HDPE boxes filled with expanded polystyrene.. Where Terraflo differs is above that – the structure of the boat is made of Quebec-treated wood approved for aquatic use and decked with Western red cedar.
