The skies are moody and weather remains a little fluky, but soon we’ll be into the all-too-brief boating summer. Shelley from Prince Edward County shared this shot of the marina by the dock of the Glenora ferry. The free(!) car carrier that connects the east end of the County to the eastern Ontario mainland.
May 23, 2024 Here’s a stunning Photo of the Week from Tony Castro. We think of Tony as an almost-Canadian. He was CS Yachts’ designer for years and spent a lot of time in Brampton – many of you likely still enjoy his CS 30, CS34 and others. That’s the Canadian angle but Tony was…
Here’s a pair of shots guaranteed to get you in the mood for this summer. They come from Pat and Jan O’Malley in Nova Scotia and certainly celebrate the boating life.
I took this shot at the boot boat show in Dusseldorf last time I went. They have some pretty big boats in the mega-yachts section.
Good afternoon. With the possibility that the Kirkfield locks will be closed, we have no choice but to go north. Could you recommend a book etc. that would list desirable anchorage along Georgian bay small craft route. Thanks Bob Chamberlain
On the Easter Weekend, the Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club from Vancouver Island, had its first cruise of the season to Port Browning Marina on North Pender Island. I snapped this photo on Easter Monday as I was heading up the dock to help set up for the final breakfast.
Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking
Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
