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!

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
