The 2023 Pink Dinghy Poker Run will be held on July 8, 2023 and will be based out of the new port facility in Honey Harbour, adjacent to the Delawana Inn. Boaters and cottagers board their dinghies (jet boats, small tenders or PWCs work well too) for an afternoon trip around the Honey Harbour area of Georgian Bay – gathering cards from five different stops. Prizes are awarded for the top poker hands and a few fun surprises.

Registration opens at 10am, prizes for decorations and costumes will be announced at 11am with the mass start shortly thereafter. Participants will have to return to the port by 2pm to open their hands. We will have a charity barbecue, the Bounce/Pure Country tailgate team will be on hand, and our team will award prizes at 3pm.

Registration is now open. In 2019 registration was capped at 100, this year we have increased the number to 150. The cost is $40 in advance – $50 on the day of the event providing we have not sold out.

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.
