Dec 7, 2023 Kelly Willett of North Van sent along this slightly chilly looking shot. “The photo is of me and it is in the gulf islands close to Victoria BC. The vessel is a Baltic 42DP – Northwest Passage.” We welcome your photos, summer, or autumn, for our Photo of the Week album. Criteria –…
Oh Paul, you are so on the point with this text as you were with the “World Sailing has it wrong” article. It is a disaster and drives me crazy

A dear friend brought her 8 month old daughter aboard my 25 foot keelboat…and baby was right at home! Next…figuring out how to rig up a jolly-jumper!

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.

The new Yacht Club will be a must on the itineraries of sailors, boaters and yachtsmen with a marina that can accommodate a range of vessels from power boats, sailboats and catamarans, to super yachts of up to 200 feet. Located in Sprat Bay harbor, the Yacht Club will be its own destination with a dedicated swimming pool for Yacht Club guests, Drunken Pelican restaurant and bar, a commissary, Sea Chest Boutique and a sports recreation area with pickleball, basketball and bocce ball courts and a lawn-games area. To protect the coral reef and marine life surrounding the island, moorings will be located in White Bay, Sprat Bay, Deadman’s Bay…
