This quayside shot came in from Dartmouth Yacht Club (DYC) taken at the Pirates of Halifax Harbour event last month.

It was a trip 2 or 3 years ago, and all 4 boats traveled up to the Killarney area in a flotilla–Sea’chelle, Unwinder, Gillian, and After Sailin’. Perfect weather and beautiful scenery, which some of the group had never seen. Five of us climbed up to the very top of that ridge above Covered Portage. You can just see my shoe in the foreground.
The mighty St John as it flows from beyond Fredericton around Ox Island above Gagetown is some of the loveliest stretch for boating as you can see. These shots just popped up in the POTW inbox from Denise Miller. We’re already looking forward to next season! Thanks Denise.
This issue, to kick off 2019, we have an unofficial Photo of the week and this, the unofficial POTW. It came to us in a text from Roger in Windsor, but it’s hard to resist.
Every boater needs an operator’s card and you can’t start too early. Here Little Eddie brushes up his boat handling techniques.
Apr 11, 2024 The Photo of the Week was delivered right after the last spring blizzard when boaters from all over the GTA gathered for The Broad Reach Spring Thaw. Thanks to the East Coast theme the event evolved into a Kitchen Party – shanties were sung, fiddles were deployed, chowder was spilled and everyone…
In Etobicoke Yacht Club night races the first Spinnaker set is usually at the first upwind mark on a starboard tack.
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.
