It’s Back – Safety and Flare Return Days 2021

Safety Flare Return Day

Apr 8, 2021

So far we have 22 Squadrons who have requested events and we can take about 10 more requests. Squadrons who wish to offer events can now contact local marine retailers to see if they wish to participate with them in an event this season.

A Safety and Flare Return days 2021 Squadron and Retailer Request and Information Form was sent late last year to all District Commanders for distribution to their Squadrons and they have been asked to complete this form with the Squadron’s partner retailer and send the request for an event to my attention, jgullick@cps-ecp.ca with a cc to Mike Smith, equinoxm@cogeco.ca.
A total of 35 events across the country will be approved this year. In 2022 we will be able to hold up to 45 events.

We will review the requests, select a good cross section of locations across Canada and then inform Squadrons and provide them with all required information and materials that they will need. CIL Orion will send the necessary shipping cartons and instructions direct to the retailers.

For those of you who held events in the past you will see few, if any, changes to the program.

2021 dates and locations are available here. Check back often as more dates are added.

If you have any questions or require a Squadron event request form, please feel free to contact me at jgullick@cps-ecp.ca

Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

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.
