June 19th Cover

May 9, 2019

The June 2019 issue of Canadian Yachting magazine is focused on the summer and some of the ways you can create more boating memories with family and friends.

Canadian Yachting readers are very fortunate to share in this great lifestyle and the June issue is a reminder that boating doesn’t have to mean owning a big yacht. In this June 2019 issue, you will find a number of more practical and more accessible boating stories.

Our boat reviews include the Yamaha WaveRunner FX SVHO three-seater personal watercraft, a family-focused Four Winns 180 HD and for the fisherman and outdoor enthusiasts in the group, a Wellcraft 242 F; three different boats each of which can deliver an excellent boating experience at a reasonable price.

Also in this issue we feature a wonderful and accessible destination, Port Severn on the amazing Trent Severn Waterway. Then there is something a little more aspirational; a waterfront look at the city of Chicago. Also, the eccentric Galley Guys are back and on the Rideau Canal system visiting the Scheuermann Winery.

As you begin your 2019 boating season, check out the practical, hands-on information about being a Good Samaritan on the water, join us for a look at Kingston Anchors and consider our information about marine fuel and the perils of using ordinary gasoline containing ethanol. It’s all in another fine issue of Canadian Yachting.

The Erie Canal – An Extraordinary Waterway

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
