May is when boating season begins to feel real, when plans turn into departures and small improvements can shape the entire summer ahead. This issue shares practical ideas gathered from years on the water, from the things I wish I had done as a new boater to clever small-space storage lessons borrowed from savvy apartment living. I’m also giving you a look inside my new onboard office renovation, where an awkward unused space became something genuinely useful, and inviting you to join me at the Taste of B.C. event at Port Sidney Marina, where I’ll be sharing books, ideas, and a little dockside inspiration for the season ahead.
