Meeting Marc
As you loyal OnBoard readers know from reading his articles and exploring his videos, our contributor Marc Robic is an astonishingly multi-talented boater. He has written on topics from refrigeration to electric heads to winterizing and he delighted us with his striking scale models, hand made in the basement during cold winter months. He has also shared cruising adventures and advice – this Quebecois has really done a lot of things with and around boats. And btw, he has created many of those same articles for our sibling Canadian Yachting à bord in French!
Notwithstanding that Marc is one of our most prolific writers, while he and I had exchanged hundreds of emails, we had just few phone calls and never met in person. His writing debuted during covid and has since accelerated, but chit-chatting was never part of our thing.

A Sailor's Obsession During the Endless Winter Months - Part 1
Like most CY readers, I spend many winter days daydreaming about spring and summer, when we can get our boats back in the water. Even though the summer days are supposed to be longer, time seems to run much slower in the winter. One can only read so many books, watch so much TV and take so many walks. A few years ago an idea came to me while in the beautiful Thousand Islands and docked at the fabulous Clayton Classic Boat Museum in New York State.
