I always thought the saying "If you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes" was a Canadian thing. I just found out that it is attributed to Mark Twain and was in reference to New England. Regardless, it describes spring in Ontario perfectly. A week and a half ago we were shoveling snow and …
Winter Returns… And So Do Tom And Chris … Part 2!
It became abundantly clear this week that having to work full time to make money really cuts into boat time! By the time this past week ended we had been through another snow storm (we woke up to about 10 cm ... or 4" ... of the white stuff on Monday morning) and the end …

Winter Returns… And So Do Tom And Chris!
We were able to get 4 full boat days in this week so this post will be a long one. Feel free to go ahead and get some popcorn and a drink...I'll wait! Since the clock is ticking on this project (there are now 38 days until Becky gets taken away) we decided to put …
We Have Laminate!!!
We got very lucky this week. The laminate that we thought would arrive Friday actually came on Monday and, because of this, we were able to get a lot done. We also got some good news from our marina this week. They will be opening tomorrow so that they can start putting boats in the …
I Am Only Typing Something Here To Keep Jason Happy!
We found out last week that the laminate that we chose (called Winter Cherry by Tafisa) was out of stock and we wouldn't be getting more until later next week. As a result Donald spent more time focusing on a lot of the smaller items on the to-do list. Even though these aren't really interesting …

The one thing I've never mentioned before is where in the world people have been following our blog from. Understandably the majority of the views have been from the US and Canada but there have been several other countries represented on my stats page. Here is a screenshot of the statistics page on my blog. …
Gerry Is Finally Home!!!
Our friends Kerrin and Jason were finally able to bring their son home today. He was born on February 28th and he is now home with his big brother William. We are very happy for them and can't wait to meet him. Maybe he can join us on the boat sometime. With the way things …
It really is interesting how time can change your perspective on things. When we started boat day on November 16th of last year we couldn't wait to put the winter cover on but now, a mere 5 months later, we can't wait to take it off. Unfortunately we can't do that quite yet. Although we …
8 Months!!!!
For the longest time we kept working away on this project not knowing if we had reached the halfway point. When we did reach it (January 15th which just happens to be my son Alex's birthday) we didn't realize it because the amount of work ahead of us still seemed so daunting. We now feel …
April 2nd & 4th. 71 Days And This Boat Is Out Of Here!
I have to admit at this point in the project the process of writing the blog is seeming to be more exhausting than the day itself. That may be a bit of a hyperbole but tonight I struggled to come up with the first line. I don't want to even think of a title. The …
