CY & BIC Bonus Read!
We are in the thick of the Dog Days of Summer and that is A-OK as long as we are on the water enjoying and keeping cool! Sunsets are starting to sneak in a little earlier each night so be sure to get out on the water while the temperature is still on our side! With that in mind...maybe it is time to give thought to registering for a boating course in the upcoming months. You can check out the Canadian Power Squadron Courses here.
Enjoy your August Edition of Boating Equipment News.

VHF book review: Some Good Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall Reading
|
|
Three books in a series of books by Canadian author Erik Skovgaard. • Marine VHF Radio Handbook for the BC Coast. • Marine AIS & DSC Handbook • The Marine Radar Handbook. These three books, as the author states, are not intended to be comprehensive treatises on their subject matter. They are intended to be Guide/Handbooks. This has been extremely well accomplished. To entice you to actually read and use them there are three major points to...

New basic cleat mounts temporarily, without drilling

Made in the USA with UV-resistant

Ask Andrew: Sikflex 291 Kit review
|
|
Chatting at the club bar last week, the subject of current boat projects popped up. One boater described his window-replacement project, and the tone from the get-go was one of dismay. Days of research. Lists of products and supplies to purchase. Youtube videos. The project started but was interrupted by multiple trips to the chandlery. Product recommendations gone awry. Professional grade products, at professional grade pricing, but without the professional grade...
