Hi Ann,
the boat is at it's slip in Arnprior, on the Ottawa river.
Sailing it east would be a pain... The CS is not big and solid enough for the gulf of St. Lawrence or the Atlantic.. sigh..
I read you on the weather. We've been out sailing a few time and always came back home early because of the rain and cold.
We're hoping to sail the North Channel out of Spanish late July, early August.

Thanks for the nice comment, Anne.
I too have been to Mahone bay. I love the East Coast and I'm very tempted on packing our old camper van to take off for down East . The only thing is.. I'd have to leave the boat behind.. sigh.. double sigh...
Have you been sailing yet??
We've been out a few times but now are worried about a diesel fuel spill into the Ottawa river. It was caused by a train de-railment in Mattawa near North Bay.

Hi Anne

Great information you have posted.. Any interest in doing some sailing in Florida?

Thanks again for the encouragement...

Thank you Anne for your encouraging words...I am so a novice..Thanks again for your comments on my Sailing Video.

beautiful pictures you have!!

Anne-
Thanks, the article was fun. Sisiutl is a great boat and a blast to sail in the PNW waters. Definitely looking forward to summer and some warmth (yep, it snowed here last night....)

Hey thanks again Anne I did this one a used canvases that I painted over.

Yes familiar with Paul Brent's work, as I sell his art...I'm a dealer...Thanks for the visit.

Hello Anne,
I saw your profile and realized you are going to the Abaco's in April. We went last year and rented a house and a 22' Albury boat. What a great area. Don't miss the Light House at Hope Town, Nippers on Sunday and Cracker P's for lunch and the view. If you like to dine out I would recommend the Abaco Inn, which has a great view. We are sailing this April out of St. Martin. Have fun, Bill

Hi Anne,
The picture of the Mahone Bay dock is a classic. Should be published in Wooden Boat! With your permission would like to add it to my collection and use as desk top background.

I was just cruising the profiles and came across yours. Mahone Bay is a place I'd very much like to visit. My smaller boat is a 1966 McVay Falcon 16' that was built there. I used to correspond regularly with members of the McVay family and they shared some lovely photos of the place.

Ahoy Anne, Grew up at family places on Georgian Bay Island and private lake on 118 near Vankoughnet not far from LOB. Don't sell North Channel short, It's internationally recognized as one of the two or three BEST cruising grounds in the world and it's effectively in your backyard. Cheers, Arthur
