Peterborough also organized a Boaters Blessing with St. John’s Anglican Church in Lakefield, Ontario.

Boaters of all ages and their crew were invited to join the St. John’s congregation for a special service and blessing to coincide with this summer’s boating season. Boaters brought a small item from their watercraft to be blessed such as a life jacket, compass, paddle, hat and of course the captain and crew. The St John’s Church Band played nautical hymns and refreshments were served. Members from Peterborough Power and Sail Squadron were on hand to answer boating safety or training questions.

By Andy Adams

Ranger Tugs have been around since 1958 and they have developed a great formula: one boat, one price. Almost everything is included, and there is literally a fan club of owners who share stories, information and who set up events and rendezvous with other Ranger Tugs owners. www.Tugnuts.com is a community hub for owners of Ranger Tugs, Cutwater Boats and Solara Boats, all made by Fluid Motion!

Tugnuts.com is quite a unique resource. The online forum has quick links to a chat, info about cruises & gatherings, a channel to ask questions of the Ranger Tugs Factory, Ranger Tugs Technical Discussions, “How to” videos and more.

I wait until the bow turns into the wind and the headsail snaps over, then crawl over the cabin top of Panacea X to the now windward side. The trim team smoothly sheets on the headsail and a competitor vessel shoots past our stern, feet away, as our Solana 45 beats eastward along Antigua’s south coast.
