A busy couple of weeks

September 9, 2021

As summer winds down, everyone is hustling to pack in as much boating as they can. That has led to a pretty full issue but that’s a whole lot better than chasing our contributors for a few meager stories in a locked down world.

The result is a loaded offering of news, advice from some experts, new boats, products and ideas and a few just plan quirky items. The goal, of course, is to keep you in tune with the Canadian boating scene.

Mostly, we only run Canadian information or goings-on by Canadians as they boat here and there. That has meant that while we get all sorts of feeds from the UK and elsewhere, we largely leave those to other publications and sites to cover. Not to be partisan, but we are trying to remain your distinct national source. Besides, the Americans and Europeans appear to get lots of coverage without our help.

But when it comes to homegrown stories, products and info, we are all ears. Look what we get – Andrew continues to find new information. I for one continue to learn each time – this week’s Ask Andrew piece on stray currents is eye opening. Marc Robic is getting very good at explaining the basics of boating life with every new column.  The news and information we get from boaters across Canada continues to expand.

That’s the plan – your digest of information along with ours from the Canadian Yachting pros. We’re the only online Canadian online source that covers it all. So please continue to enjoy us twice a month and feel free to share with friends and dockmates.

There are some high-horsepower motors available, but they look like regular outboard motors to be used on conventional boats. Until now, there hasn’t been an electric boat that really makes a statement. Enter the ENVGO NV1.

Canada’s Superior: the North Shore

Story and photos by Jennifer M. Smith

We’d been north before on a short two-week cruise. At the time, we were unprepared for the isolation, the lack of cell phone coverage, and the spotty VHF reception. Since then we’ve repowered, installed Starlink, and retired from work. Now, with confidence in our engine and our connectivity and more time to sail, we were Superior-ready.
