Toronto Boat Show Opening Weekend

TIBS 2020 opening weekend

Jan 23, 2020

Per tradition, Toronto was hit with a good amount of snow just in time for the opening weekend of the Toronto International Boat Show. Did that stop the crowds? Absolutely not, we welcomed a huge crowd opening weekend. Preview Day also saw very strong crowds with the second highest opening Friday in the past 21 years with attendance reaching over 3000 guests.

In addition to great crowds, the third annual Women’s Day took place on Sunday, January 19th and was an absolute success. With a crowd just shy of 100 women a full day was spent moving through seated and practical seminars – including trailering and docking.

From sea fleas to water ski’s it’s safe to say the shows may have it all and are looking forward to a full final weekend.

Come snow or sun we are looking forward to another full weekend of boating fun!

The Erie Canal – An Extraordinary Waterway

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
