Boathouse

July 25, 2019

the Boathouse is right beside your boat!

Eating and drinking by the water’s edge is an essential part of boating, maybe even the most important aspect. So we have decided to share, and ask you to do the same.

Here’s all it takes, a picture and name of your favorite on-the-water pub or dining establishment and the reason(s) why you love it. It can be fancy or a seafarer’s dive. If it’s your favorite watering hole by the bay or your beloved romantic venue for a special shoreside gourmet experience, please let us know.

Just send your pick to cyonboard@kerrwil.com and put Eats or Drinks or even Eats and Drinks in the header.

Fish n ChipsFish and chips plus drinks!

Here’s one that I love, the aptly named Boathouse in Belleville ON. It’s across the bridge from Crate’s, across the basin from BQYC and down the street from Meyers Pier, ideal whether you’re a local or visiting cruiser. To say the fish and chips at the Boathouse is sublime is only the beginning, on Monday night it’s also copious with an all you can eat barrage for 15 bucks!

Send us yours asap!!

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.”
