Tinsel and Tides
December 2024
The holidays are here, and it’s the perfect time to savour the season on the water. In this month’s newsletter, “Tinsel and Tides,” you’ll find some smart gift ideas for boaters and a fun video of my day trip to Perris, California, to see where my boat was built.
I will be heading out on my boat for the holidays with some warm cocoa and my faux fireplace DVD!
Signature Moment
November 2024
The holiday season is just around the corner, and I love all the decorating, parties and glitter. I appreciate a good gift just as much as the next person, but for many, many years, I have chosen experiences over things. That being said, I think that a customized gift with the boat’s name or logo is very thoughtful, and now is the time to order to beat the crowds.
I have also started creating some videos – amateur to start but I can only improve!! Enjoy the Long Harbour, Salt Spring Island cruise from the comfort of your desk or fuzzy slippers!
Pumpkin Spice & Saltwater Tides
October 2024
Winter boating has its charm — crisp air, glassy waters, and that peaceful quiet you only get when the summer crowd has packed it in. But let’s be honest, it’s all about sweata weatha now. You’re bundled up, and sipping something warm (pumpkin spice, anyone?). The wind’s got a bite, but there’s something satisfying about being out there, taking on the elements while everyone else is curled up indoors. It’s the kind of day that makes you feel like you’ve earned your time on the water—just with a few extra layers.

It’s Boat Show Season!

Exceptionally Gifted
November 2023
The holiday season is quickly approaching, and while I prefer to share experiences, sometimes some really cool gadgets catch my eye. This summer, I used an underwater camera to determine that a crab line was wrapped around a fellow boater’s prop. The water was cold and the expense of a diver was high if there was nothing there. Those were dollars well spent. I am also a big fan of “know-before-you-go” so I have added my local tide datum to my Outlook calendar. It makes trip planning easy, and loading the boat at a high tide (avoiding the vertical ramp with the wheelbarrow) even easier!

Dock Partay
August 2023
It has been a fantastic summer thus far and the theme this month is catching up with friends, aka the “dock party”. A gathering with those who only drink wine on special occasions, like Thursdays. Check out the handy new picnic cooler I found along with a long-time fave, the plastic wine carafe. Happy docktails!
