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 …
Family Ties Repair Update
I am going to make this post short with lots of pictures so even Kevin can follow along. My future posts will be about how the second half of the summer went but for now it's all about updating you on our port engine. When we last met up on this blog our beautiful boat …
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. …
Our August Weekends
We are having way too much fun with this new boating lifestyle and are so happy to be able to share it with our family and friends. If you can learn to deal with the spiders and flies being on the water is amazing ... even if you are only sitting at the dock. This …
A Beautiful July Weekend.
... and the summer fun continues. We had been watching the weather and waiting for a nice to day invite my business partner Terry and his friends Jen and Jeff up to the boat. The plan was to go out and anchor in Kidd Bay at White Cloud Island. Leanne and I hadn't had a …
A Mid Summers Post
Ok... this post will have a lot of photos with as little description as possible. I really do have to catch up. The weekend of July 10th our friends John and Gail came for a visit. On the Friday night it was a bit cool as we sat out on the bow loungers. This was …
