Canada Day Mini Cruise to The Waubic

This past Canada Day long weekend, we headed up the Severn River to The Waubic for a couple of nights. As expected, I have a bunch of pictures, videos and stories to share with you sometime in the future, as time allows. For now, here's a couple of quick pics;

Looking form the river, towards The Waubic restaurant;

This is what it's all about - Anchor Girl relaxes on the swim platform. They had a live band (a bunch of old guys doing some Chicago jazz) which was a surprise - and kept the toes tapping;

Here's a video clip of us heading through the rocky & picturesque McDonald Cut on the way back home;

Happy Summer Time :-)



Well, here we are already - the first day of summer! Wow, already, eh?

Yes, I'm still extremely busy at work, but I wanted to mark this special day for all of us boaters and share a photo I took at the marina really early last Friday morning. That's right, Friday morning. Anchor Girl has Fridays off work, so periodically we run up Thursday evening and I head back down to work Friday morning. That way she can enjoy the day on the boat - and I don't have to endure constant text messages on the job site asking me when I'm coming home ;-)

Coming Soon . . .

Hi folks! Yes, we are enjoying being back on the water - although Boogaboo is yet to leave the marina for the first time this year :-( That said, I do have some pics & videos to share, but been working late a lot lately and time is scarce to post them here.

 Ya, we had a blast at the Lagoon City Marina 'Welcome Back' party this past Saturday &, wouldn't you know it, one of the newest guests of the marina actually ended up on a picnic table belting out - what else - some Frank Sinatra!


 More to come soon . . .

Work Of Art

It's with great sadness that I'm passing on the news that Art Batty - 'Work Of Art' - from Keswick Marine has suddenly left us.



 Apparently he fell from the deck of his boat this past week and drowned in front of his beloved boat, 'Work Of Art'.

 A tragic turn of events, but at the very least he ended his days at the place he loved the most. As all of us knew, Art was at his boat every day of the year and seemed to be the most happy there. . .
