CY & BIC Bonus Read!
Is that Canada Geese I hear?
September...such a great month. For many Canadians it's a time for returning to routine after cramming a whole lot into the stellar weather months of July and August. The slowed pace and cooler temperatures now mean a different kind of boating. Short distance trips are popular now but if you’re a fortunate retiree or you can snag a week or two away from commitments, September is your month for boating! Waterways are quieter and it's still not too cold. The Fall colours are amazing! September also means that migrating birds and some lucky humans are getting ready to fly South. All good reasons to start to plan what you would like to read up on. So, in this issue of BEN, I have compiled our best book recommendations and book review articles for you to peruse. There are so many great options that it would be hard to pick only one! Good luck!
Enjoy your Boating Equipment News for September 2022 and a little Fall reading onboard.

Her husband Dave had just suffered a grand mal seizure caused by stress and sleep deprivation, and then been fired from his job after 11 years of loyal service. Sitting bolt upright...
