Message From The Editor
A busy couple of weeks
As summer winds down, everyone is hustling to pack in as much boating as they can. That has led to a pretty full issue but that’s a whole lot better than chasing our contributors for a few meager stories in a locked down world.
The result is a loaded offering of news, advice from some experts, new boats, products and ideas and a few just plan quirky items. The goal, of course, is to keep you in tune with the Canadian boating scene.
Mostly, we only run Canadian information or goings-on by Canadians as they boat here and there. That has meant that while we get all sorts of feeds from the UK and elsewhere, we largely leave those to other publications and sites to cover. Not to be partisan, but we are trying to remain your distinct national source. Besides, the Americans and Europeans appear to get lots of coverage without our help.

Ask Andrew
Corrosion – Part 2
It’s a scary thought - whether your boat is made of wood, fiberglass, aluminum or composite – it’s slowly deteriorating under you. Part of this is the nature of the marine environment: sun, moisture, waves, wind, movement and vibration all contribute to components breaking down.

Tuffy Console Security Safe
If you’re headed out for a weekend afloat or on a week-long cruise you often must park your vehicle unattended and to keep your valuables dray and safe, it’s best to leave them in the car. I have never had anything stolen, but have occasionally left my vehicle open for a short time, and on more than one occasion my vehicle has been gone through.
