Photo of the week: Another POTW Boater profile
The photo of us in our dinghy was taken from the shores of Beausoleil Island. We were on our way to Honeymoon Bay in the north of the Island and we were attending a Great Lakes Cruising Club Rendezvous for Georgian Bay boaters. Jan is “Admiral of the Fleet” and I am “Bilge Billy.”

Hello, John, I must ask why, like too many Canadians, you relish supporting a brutal communist police dictatorship like Cuba. Too often, it’s because we can, and Americans can’t – that old animosity bred into too many of my countrymen.

CYOB Inbox: Proud of ORIOLE
I was pleased to see CYOB’s piece on ORIOLE, the Royal Canadian Navy’s sail training vessel (May 9 19.) She was built as a racing yacht at the Royal Canadian Yacht Club for the Gooderham family in 1921. She was based at RCYC for the first half of her life (or so) and was never a commercial vessel.

POTW – April 11, 2019: Not quite summer yet
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.

POTW March 14, 2019: A winter retreat double header
Unfortunately this is not a picture from a boat but was taken on the evening of February 27, 2019 looking out over the Great Sound in Bermuda and over the course used for the Americas Cup in 2017 but it does show the beauty of the water and why we are attracted to boating.
