Message From The Editor
Boating among people – are you ready?
Three summers later, are you ready to operate your boat among human beings? The Pottahawk July Weekend traditionally drew thousands of boats to Turkey Point in Lake Erie; it was Canada’s largest boat party until it was dampened by Covid for two straight years. Everything else had the wind knocked out of it by lockdowns and social distancing too. In sail racing, pursuit races replaced traditional starts out of ‘an abundance of caution’ and nobody has been socializing very much on the dock. Visiting distant or nearby ports has been almost completely restricted for two full seasons.
True, we have enjoyed our boats but mostly with close family or a small bubble of friends. Having a boat turned out to be the best escape ever during troubled times. But now as we head back to ’normal’ are you ready?
