I'm falling behind on my blog posts. I can't believe it has been almost 3 weeks since we took the big trip from Wiarton to Lefroy on Lake Simcoe and I haven't updated my blog. A lot has happened since then so I will break it up into a few posts. I was both looking …
The KM And Some Other Boat Related Items.
I am falling behind on my blog posts so this will be a short one. I had the honour of being allowed to work on the KM recently. For those of you who haven't been following along the KM (or Kobayshi Maroon) is my first experience on a boat trip and she is owned by …

Back On The Water!
We are in the water and the Ontario government has finally allowed marinas to open. There is still a ways to go before this pandemic is fully behind us but it feels like life is starting to return to normal. I spent some time in the shop this past week working on the framework for …

Although not a lot has been done since December I thought it was about time to get back to the blog in case you were wondering if I had given up on it. I'm still waiting for updates (and photos) from the marina on the progress of the bodywork and, by my calculations, their time …

Becky Is Out Of The Water!
It has been a full month since my last post and so I thought it was about time to update the blog. Our boat finally came out of the water this past week and is now in the shop at the marina ready for her complete makeover. We have decided to put off installing bow …
They (whoever "they" are) say that slow and steady wins the race. If that's true I think we have a good shot at winning this one. We haven't done a lot in the way of work on the boat in a long time but that is going to change. It has to or else this …
