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.

Antigua Sailing Week is an international regatta that draws sailors of every level and spectators from all over the world. Yet I couldn’t walk across a room without being hailed by a Canadian who was as excited to see my cap as they were to see the racing. I met many who were on their 3rd, 4th and 5th visit.
