Message From The Editor
Canada Day. Hooray!
With Canada Day coming up next Tuesday, it’s a good time to take a break from what is certainly a double scoop of irritants in this world. It turns out that this is a pretty wonderful country to live in, as most of us already knew.
After an all-Canadian unpredictably cool spring we have moved seamlessly into an all-Canadian heatwave. The wonky weather is a small price for living in the True North but is doesn’t seem to be curtailing boating activities.

Ask Andrew
Bogging? What’s that?
Mechanics use a lot of strange terms when describing problems aboard. An engine may be skipping or stuttering. It could cough or belch. It may ‘rev up’ to fast or may run lean or rich. A person unfamiliar with these terms will quickly be lost in the conversation. Recently, I listened to a boat owner’s concerns and asked, ‘Did the engine sound like it was bogging?’.
