Our publisher, Greg Nicoll, caught in this snapshot at the helm of a C&C 34 on a beautiful late summer day on a crossing from
Point au Baril to Penetanguishene Harbour, Georgian Bay.
The off season is suddenly upon us. Yikes! We need your photos more than ever to keep us thinking boats all winter.
This meme-type picture came to us from Dennis McCallum of St Catherines ON who has earned the right to relax. A sailor for years and years here, all over the US east coast and beyond, Dennis is now re-building an Albin trawler and switching to the power side of life.
Last issue, we took a look at boat names. Little did we know we would get what probably will be the POTW shot of the year.
Hello all boat-loving photogs – this is our last Photo of the week on file – we need yours!!!
Thanks to Louise from Gyles Sails and Marine for catching us up on this weekend’s massive parts swap. “After a Covid-induced hiatus of 2 years it was great to be back offering our annual Part Swap! The rainy weather didn’t deter our sailors…
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
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.
