Indian Point Yacht Club MICA race

Indian Point 1

July 9, 2016

There was a great turnout for the Indian Point Yacht Club’s July 1st race in support of the Mahone Islands Conservation Association (MICA). The yachts enjoyed perfect Canada Day weather as Class A raced around the MICA islands of Andrews, Covey, and Backmans, between Bella and Mason and back to Indian Point. Class B went around Andrews and through the passage between Gifford and Rouse islands, getting a good view of Goat Island then past Zwicker and back to Indian Point.

Mahone Islands Conservation Association (MICA) was formed in 2002 and held their first public meeting on March 29, 2003. Their Mission Statement:
“To protect and conserve the natural environment of the islands and shoreline of Mahone Bay,
and the traditional, social and recreational opportunities valued by its various communities.”

Here is a great video, Gems of the Bay, taken last fall by drone owner and MICA supporter David Watson with editing by MICA supporter Wendy Levy.

Joy to all

Looking at the editor’s note from last year, I see I wrote “it can only get better”. At this point, I am not so confident in my year end prediction acumen, but as we roll into the (constrained) holiday season and on to a new year it’s time to be optimistic.

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

By Andy Adams

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON.
