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.

Jeanneau Yachts 55

Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking

Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
