In a reciprocal agreement, Scrub Island residents will be entitled to a complimentary one-week stay in a Harb’r Stone Village Town Home at Fox Harb’r Resort. Accommodations at both resorts feature space for entertaining and dining, gourmet kitchens with upgraded appliances, and master suites with luxurious ensuite bathrooms.

“We’re extremely pleased to partner with such an outstanding world class resort,” said Kevin Toth, Fox Harb’r President. “We believe our residents will feel very much at home at Scrub Island, as both properties feature the same level of unparalleled luxury, service and recreational options.”

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
