Everything’s Happening. And Not Happening!

Not Happening

Canada Post.  As we prepare this issue of OnBoard with the postal strike continuing, you may not have yet received the packed December issue of our Canadian Boating magazine. But good news – you can download the contents here for free.

Happening

Dread not the off season!  While my expectation is to withdraw from the world as we know it once the clock falls back, this year OnBoard is exploding with stories rolling in from across the land.  Besides haul-out parties and antifreeze excitement (See Ask Andrew below) the Fall appears packed with presentations, seminars and awards. I apologize to those we couldn’t accommodate this week – fortunately we publish twice a month so we will bring you lots more in two weeks.

Playing favorites, I did manage to squeeze in this photo of my own skipper, Brooks, who left our club Awards staggering under the weight of his hardware.

Spotted! Canadian Boating in Antigua & Barbuda

By Mathew Channer

I wore my Canadian Boating cap everywhere I went in Antigua, for the sun, not for the shout-outs. But I sure received a lot of them.

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.
