CY & BIC Bonus Read!
Spring is in the air! I don't know about you, but I sure needed this shift in seasons more than anything this year. We made it!
Are you starting to think about dropping by to pat your hull, give it a hug and make a list for spring launch? This is always an exciting day! Touch base with your Marina Manager to ensure snow has melted between the boats before you go. But maybe you are a BC boater and you haven't really stopped boating - lucky you, however, the warmer days ahead will be a relief for everyone, I am sure.
In the meantime, take a look at this contest from Yacht Solutions and Schaefer Yachts. You can win fractional ownership on Lake Ontario for the summer of 2022. Be sure to sign-up, contest winner will be announced in April.
Enjoy Boating Equipment News for March, 2022.
