C-Tow’s Scott Crain navigating the ice

The Niagara River normally doesn’t get that bad but on a recent day the east wind blew a large amount of ice to Canadian side near Fort Erie half a mile north of the Peace Bridge.

Helping with the Peace Bridge construction as safety boat, Scott Crain spotted a goose that was clearly injured and needed assistance. Geese in the area sometime get frozen into the floating ice. It was a cold day, but Scott felt for the struggling bird and couldn’t ignore it. He called a friend, Brian Kelley, and together they took the boat and got him into the boat and wrapped it in a jacket. On shore, the SPCA arrived and took the goose to safety. Scott Crain, who is a vegetarian and very much loves animals, hopes the goose will recover and get back on the water for spring.

Hiding Out in Belize

Dodging holiday havoc in the tropics

Getting out of town was top-of-mind as it was only November and I was already saturated with Christmas traditions – the music, the glitter, the cookies, the sales. A week in relatively remote Belize was the siren song so we booked a 45-foot catamaran with The Moorings and packed our bags.
