Fruit Infused Water Recipes

Fruit Infusion

Fruit Infused water is a top notch way to stay hydrated and have deliciously refreshing drinks ready when you are on board.  They are a great alternative to alcoholic beverages and there are countless ways to dress them up and switch up the flavours to suit anyone’s taste.  A full version of the benefits of Fruit Infused water can be read in the print edition of Canadian Yachting magazine, August 2014.

Honeydew Mojito Workout Water

Honeydew Mojito Workout Water

This fat burning drink is perfect before, during and after a workout. It’s packed with vitamin C to keep your metabolism going strong. In addition, the mint will help cool you down after a hot workout.

Makes 4 litres (refill 2-4 times)

¼ cup fresh mint

1 cup honeydew melon, sliced into chunks

1 lime, thinly sliced into rings

Add mint to bottom of clean, 4-liter pitcher and — using a fork or muddler — squish the leaves to release the oils. Add in the melon and limes, top with 3 cups of ice and then cover with water. Place in your fridge for 1-3 hours before serving. Once the water is halfway consumed, refill with more cold water. You can continue refilling 3-5 times or until flavor is lost. At that time, replace with more fruit.

*A note on the water bottle method: You may not be able to get the ingredients out if you use a traditional water bottle. For re-use, I recommend using a water bottle with a wide mouth for easier extraction of ingredients.

How To Pan Fry Fish

How To Pan Fry Fish

Pan frying fish is, perhaps, the most delicious way to cook any non-fatty fish. The coating protects the flesh from direct heat and helps keep the fish moist, while also providing a browned and crispy or crunchy crust. Yet, the method avoids the large amount of oil (not to mention the mess) required for deep frying. The steps here show how to do a full three-step coating, but the basic idea can also be used to simply coat the fish once with flour to improve browning for pan fried fish. Whether you catch and fillet your own fish or buy them from a fish monger or at a fish counter, always cook with only the highest quality, impeccably handled fish. Look for firm, uniformly textured flesh and a clean smell of ocean, river, or lake. Fish should never smell fishy or have soft spots or bruising.

The Kids Are Alright (on Boats)

The Kids Are Alright (on Boats)

In preparing for this article, I bounced a few ideas around, from interviewing other parents to finding “experts” in childcare or sourcing the best products for childproofing, but then I remembered something I heard a lot when our son was born that, at first, sounded dismissive but in retrospect was sage wisdom: “You’ll figure it out yourself.”

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
