As much as I would like to think spring is just around the corner the 50 cm + (around 20") of snow we got in the last 5 days says otherwise. Lots to do in the next few months to get ready for what I hope is our first full season of boating. Once I …
Not All Heroes Wear Capes!
I have always thought of myself as a patient person, but there comes a time when I have to take matters into my own hands, roll up my sleeves, put my nose to the old grindstone... ... and call in Jason. There was still quite a bit of electrical work to be done, most of …
Wash … Rinse ….Don’t Repeat!
As I sit at the Canadian flag table in our cockpit on this very rainy Sunday afternoon I think to myself ... "this bimini isn't that old - why are there so many leaks?" In this photo you will see one of our kayak oars and a life jacket pushing up our bimini so that …
I’m a little rusty at this blogging thing!
1 year, 10 months, 1 hour, 8 minutes 95 weeks, 4 days, 1 hour, 8 minutes 669 days, 1 hour, 8 minutes 16057 hours, 8 minutes This is how long it has been since I took this photo. ... but who's counting? That is Jason sitting on our bow lounge chair enjoying a beautiful late …

Lawrence MacLean 1928 – 2023
Lawrence MacLean was born in Glace Bay, Cape Breton Island, on November 4, 1928. The second youngest of ten children, Larry was three years old when his parents moved the family to Hay Cove, a small community on the Bras d’Or Lake, where he lived until he joined the army in 1949. In 1951, while …
We’re Back…..sort of….
This post will be very short and will only have a few photos. At this point our engines are still in a shop in north Toronto getting repaired. The best case scenario at this point is that we will be in the water the first week of July. Of course this is a moving target …
Pawn-Pawn…Pawn-Pawn…Pawn-Pawn!
I was very recently reminded that I have been neglecting my blog duties so I am back at it now. I suggest that you get yourself some refreshments and make yourself comfortable. This is going to be a long one. Fortunately, it will be mostly photos. Trying to keep the typing to a minimum so …
On The Water Again!
It's hard to believe but we are now starting our third season of boating. Although we have only left the safety of Colpoy's Bay once it's boating nonetheless. Our bank account certainly thinks so. We were very lucky that the weather was cooperating when we took off the winter cover and put up the bimini. …
It’s about time ….
I thought I would start off 2022's first blog post by finishing off 2021's last. It's not like I didn't have enough time over the last 8 months. I have no excuse other than just being lazy. Going all the way back to September 4th of last year ... Donald and Leanne spent the weekend …
Captain Larry Returns!
I am breaking my normal pattern of waiting 2 or 3 weeks to add a new post but this will be a short one. All summer we were trying to figure out a way to get our father back up to Wiarton. He hasn't seen it with the new bimini other than on the blog. …
