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.

ENVGO NV1: Back to the Future

By Andy Adams

There are some high-horsepower motors available, but they look like regular outboard motors to be used on conventional boats. Until now, there hasn’t been an electric boat that really makes a statement. Enter the ENVGO NV1.

Canada’s Superior: the North Shore

Story and photos by Jennifer M. Smith

We’d been north before on a short two-week cruise. At the time, we were unprepared for the isolation, the lack of cell phone coverage, and the spotty VHF reception.
