We stand onboard for thee
I love it when a plan comes together. How fortunate that Canada has the most lakes and coastline anywhere and that we are boaters! Because we are not going anywhere for the foreseeable future – we are enjoying the harbours, lakes and natural beauty right here at home!
As we make plans for this summer’s adventures, the destination list is all red and white. The advantage, of course, is that no matter how much of Canada you explore there’s always more. Personally, I will be boating to ports on the north shore of Lake Ontario, exploring cute fish ‘n’ chips places and the occasional shoreside beverage retreat. Then, later in the summer, I might consider a charter up the Rideau. I have never been there but the PORTS Guide makes it look mighty nice. This is the opportunity.
There are so many spots that I have yet to check out, I recall once going to Bowen Island – a short jaunt from the docks at Vancouver’s False Creek and thinking how powerful that a couple of miles whisked you back in time. Or – my friend Ross has moved to Port Stanley – there’s an interesting shore to explore. Maybe it’s time for a visit.
The consensus is that we’re boating and spending our tourist bucks in Canada, at least for now. So where will you be heading? And what irresistible spots would you recommend; perhaps destinations your friends (and our readers) may not know about.
That’s why we have opened the Eau Canada mailbox. We look to you to share ideas about where your family is heading and your recommendations for interesting ports, great scenery and dockside dining spots we should consider. We will publish your ideas and photos – just drop a note to eau_canada@kerrwil.com and we will get cracking on a spring full of brilliant boating-at-home info.
