Episode 2’s “anchor location” is Nova Scotia. We explore the restoration efforts of Hector Heritage Quay, go to the oldest yacht club in the Americas (Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron) for the finish of the historic Marblehead-to-Halifax race from Boston, Tidal Bore Rafting and a look at the Royal Canadian Navy’s oldest commissioned vessel and only sailing ship, the HMCS…
This week Water Ways checks out the historic hotbed of boating in Muskoka. For 150 years this has been a lake-lover’s paradise. From North America’s oldest operating Steamship, the RMS Segwun, and it’s sister-ship the Wenonah II to Canada’s largest Antique & Vintage Boat Show the history is one you can experience, not just read…

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat.

Peter Island Resort in the British Virgin Islands has opened its rebuilt and re-envisioned luxury private island in 2024 after the property closures from the Virgin Islands’ 2017 hurricane season.
