Sweet Love

Sept 8, 2022

Back in 2019 (I believe) your magazine used a pic of Sweet Love, a Ranger Tug 31, in a photo promotion.

 Chrome Island, Canada Pacific NW

I started this May in Green Bay, WI and entered Canada at Sault Ste Marie. Since then, I have cruised the North Channel, Georgian Bay, Trent Severn waterway, Rideau Canal, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Saguenay Fjord, Rimouski, Gaspe, PEI, Bras D’Or, Halifax, Yarmouth, St John and the reversing falls north to Oromocto then back down and today after 3 1/2 months and 3,000 + miles will depart Canada for the USA at Eastport.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

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. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
