Beautiful Canada

Ranger Tug 31S in front of Chrome Island, BC

I am new to boating. Bought a 2019 Ranger Tug in April followed by taking a short boating course and headed out. Spent from late May to early August in the Canadian Pacific north.
Will be shipping the boat (only ten foot beam, hence able to trailer) to Tennessee next month to start the Great Loop.

I hope you like this pic of beautiful Canada.

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.
