CY & BIC Bonus Read!
It's November and like clockwork, CY Media brings you Boating Equipment News, except this month with a little twist! We know that November is the time for a shift from Canadian Boating to planning for which Winter Boat Shows to visit and for those whom are fortunate, the start to planning the journey to the Sunny South begins. So instead of sharing Boating Equipment this month, our Team has currated a Round-Up of the destination stories recently written for you in CY & CYOB along with a few great book recommendations. Enjoy!
(Though we are always enthusiastic about travel we remind you to ensure that you check current travel advisories as the Covid-19 situation is still very fluid.)

Once safely in deep water we raise sail. I spin the wheel of “Kavok” (a Lagoon 421 catamaran we’ve booked for our weeklong Belize bareboat adventure from Dream Yacht...
