Liv's Comments

Hi Liv,
You're on the Ottawa aren't you? Just turn the boat east instead of west - avoid the oil spill, visit NS and take the boat instead of the camper van...a win, win, win! :o)

I've not got the sailboat in the water yet - so no boating so far this season. . . and the weather isn't doing anything to encourage me to get moving on the boat front. What happen to our summer weather? Is it suffering from the recession too?

Morning Liv, yes it's working try now...site was shut down earlier for mtce.

Yes, driven past/through, and also, many many years ago, canoed from Mont Laurier down the Riviere du Lievre to Buckingham. The only time I've been on the Ottawa River. It's a beautiful area.

Hi Liv,
Got the great news you are a happy sailor again. !~!~! ~! ~ ! ~!
I'm going sailing on Sunday off Annapolis in Chesapeake Bay ~ badly need a fix !~!~ !~ !~ !
also thanks for posting the poetry and books. I;m totally into Sensible Cruising... inspiring and sobering!

Thanks. This looks like a fun site/group. I'm a bit familiar with your area, as an ex-Montrealer who has travelled across Canada a few times. Hope you're enjoying the start of summer.

Hi Liv,
Thanks’ for the offer; I will tack you up on that as local knowledge is always welcome. I look forward to meeting you and others from SeaKnots.

Why thank you Liv,
this does look like a very cool site. Hope I can contribute too.
What lakes do you sail on?

Hi, I have a dodger, will have to look at other boats, back stay comes into play, maybe a double split and horizontal pole.????

Morning! Just saw a bimini on a Catalina 25, they've placed it forward, as they don't have a dodger (i do). I could have one i think and only use while at anchor or in slip. My traveler was moved from stern mount to just before the companionway so may be easier. A "next year" project. or maybe after the Power Ball hit..LOL Think I'll be tie dying the sail awning I got.. :-) Have a wonderful day!!!

Hi Liv, On my way to boat in a bit. Why can't you have a bimini? In my Catalina, the boom comes back too far aft...would have to be low, still trying to figure it out, haven't seen any 25's with a bimini yet. Scored a sail awning off Craigslist for 20.00, nice one but stained a bit (something while stored) will try to get out or dye it. But that's while boat in slip. If i can have a bimini, will have clear window in top that i can velcro closed, to watch sail shape. Hope to be able to figure it out. There have been some bimini's on CGlist, but need to get my exact dimensions. Have dodger, having the two side triangles plastic replaced now. Otherwise in good condition. take care! nice weekend!

Tell me about that umbrella sunshade! Looks cool, made specially for boat???

Thanks for the compliments!

It's been a long winter. Now she's ready for adventure. Should bee in the water next week.

Great photos Liv - feels like I'm there.

Hi Liv Going sailing tomorrow but my boat is still on the hard up in New York. Going to get her the week after Mother's Day. Tomorrow Performance Sailing who make trimaran Telstar 28 and Gemini are having demo sails and open house in Annapolis and I'm leaving early in the morning... hoping for a good day !

The North Channel is on my short list too- I saw a presentation at the Chicago Boat Show and fell in love with it! Although its hard to beat the Apostle Islands.

thanks for the pic comments Liv. I'll be your guide anytime ! and I will make some time to post some more.. but it's tough now that the weather is warming up. !!!!

why not post your paintings in the photo area on your page, so you can get comments on them?
