Profile Information:
- Profile Type:
- Sailor
- Homeport:
- Long Sault, Ontario
- About Me:
- Originally from England. Parents whisked me out of my high chair and we immigrated to Canada via Cunard line back in the 60's. I was never a big water lover until I met up with my husband, who encouraged me to take up sailing, and I now can't get enough of it. A land holiday seems boring now.
We live in Montreal and keep our boat in Long Sault about hours drive. - Current location:
- Stormont Yacht Club in Long Sault, Ontario
- Destinations visited:
- Lake Ontario, St Lawrence Seaway, Lake St Louis
- Looking to:
- Meet up with other water lovers and learn from others. We just upgraded to a Catalina 30 - and are in the process of bringing her home from Marblehead, MA. Still have our Catalina 25 - so we're now owners of two great boats. Just have to give up the 25 eventually (will miss the tiller and 4'3" draft) time to move on to bigger adventures tho'!

our CS is moored at the HSCM marina in Arnprior, Ottawa River, Ontario, 50 k north/west of Ottawa.
But, we tow the boat to different bodies of water. Last August we spent some time on the North Channel of Lake Huron and are hoping to return there next year for a longer period.
Then there's Lake Nippissing which isn't very far from us .

I'm close to retirement also. I also bought a larger boat and I'm selling my Catalina 22. I love the C22 like you love the C25, but its time to grow I guess. I'm hoping to live aboard and sell the house and just about everything I own. Its easier because I'll be traveling solo. Not easier traveling, just easier getting rid of stuff and minimalizing, if thats a word.
Good Luck. its fun shopping for a new boat.

Now I need 32" x 48" 1/2 inch marine plywood to redo the floor. The previous owner cut out a big hole to replace the fuel tank. He (or She) did a crappy job on patching the hole and with this rain we had, I ended up with approx. 50 gallon rain water in the bilge.
My wife don't mind piddling with my boat, but she is not the type to live on one.
Oh yes, a larger boat is sometimes a pain in the behind. Expensive to move, repair etc.
a catalina 25, even though the headroom is ..., it's much easier to pull with a pick-up. My boat required a commercial hauler to get it to my home (~1000 bucks) not counting the trailer I had to buy (4500 bucks). I might recoupe the trailer though.

Thanks for adding me as a friend. Just my opinion, but if you purchase the C30, sail/motor it home, afterall, thats what theyre for, it'll be a great adventure. Mast down at Rensealar(sp), mast stepped at Oswego. The story I wrote is about our trip, but I made it goofy just for fun. We travelled the canal from Cayuga Lake to Oswego. Its good to have two people for the locks because they place the lines far apart.
