You’re invited! Speaker Series – Sandra and Chris from Go Thataway

Chris Newton and Sandra Burkholder

Feb 8, 2024

Join YouTubers Chris Newton and Sandra Burkholder, who graduated from our Boating 2/3 course in 2022, as they do the Loop and share practical tips on boating in US waters.

Thursday, Feburary 22nd 2024 at 7:00 p.m.

Chris and Sandra started America’s Great Loop in July 2023, departing from Midland, Ontario. Join them as they share how much they’ve enjoyed navigating about half of the 6,000 miles of North America’s inland waterways. In addition, they share legal responsibilities unique to Canadians entering the US on a boat, from the basics of immigration and taxation for the humans aboard, and the paperwork and regulations the US requires for recreational marine vessels.

Chris and Sandra have a history of meandering off the beaten path in life. They built the first permitted earthship in BC in 2012- a house built of used tires and pop cans. At the same time they converted a van to run on waste vegetable oil and did a land version of America’s Great Loop.

Buying a boat and undertaking a year long adventure along the 6,000 miles of North America’s inland waterways, didn’t surprise any of their family and friends! Chris is an engineer and Sandra has experience in journalism, communications and business consulting.

Nimbus 365 Coupe – A real long-stay cruising boat for exploring

By Andy Adams

There is no shortage of fun and exciting new boat designs hitting the market, but for the last few years these have been mainly outboard-powered day boats. 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:
