Message From The Editor
Your Friends Will (Should) Thank You
By sharing your love of boats with your relatives and friends, you are making their lives much easier. Even if they are not boaters themselves, you have made their holiday-giving season one gift simpler. Picture it – they are going through their list…a sweater for Gramma, Lego for young Martha and what about John? Oh, he’s (or she or whomever) is a boater. Let’s get something boat-y.
Piece of cake. All they need do is find something, anything, with an anchor on it and they have the ‘perfect gift’ nailed. They can relax just a bit knowing they have one gift selected and can go on to others. Oh, ‘she’s going to love it’…etc.

Responsible Boating
Training and Upskilling in the Off-season.
Growing up by the sea and then spending my adult life working on it, many of my favorite memories were formed on the water, from childhood fishing trips to trans-Pacific crossings. Boating, whatever your flavour, is a joyful activity that for many of us will be some of the best times of our lives. It certainly has for me.

Ask Andrew
Antifreeze
There’s a meme that circulates only boating pages and social media at this time of year: An a-frame sign reads ‘A moment of silence for those forced to winterize their boats’. Not all of us do – 12-month boating is possible on Canada’s west coast – and those of us in the colder areas of the country can fight over indoor heated storage. The rest of us are forced to winterize our boats.
