Christmas Card

Jan 9, 2020

Dear Santa;

Thank you so much for all the boats you gave us over the years.  We have all the White ones we need, all the Blue ones and all the Black ones.  You gave us some with sticks in the air and others without.  What a lot of choice!

Santa, I wonder, this year could you bring us some new customers.  Someone we can get warm and friendly with, someone we can help.  Someone new to boating or someone needing a change.  We have all the tools we need to help them and enough choice to allow us to satisfy their curiosity.

A line-up around the block would be a dream-come-true.  Like all those kids at the mall waiting for you; but we would take them one-at-a-time and show them the time and respect they need.

I don’t have a very big tree this year, you can’t leave them all for me.  Spread them around, a little, at least.  Or if that’s too difficult, maybe some discounted tickets for first timers to the Boat Shows.

All the Best of the Season to You.

Signed; Waiting for the Show to open.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
