Adding another piece of electronic marine equipment to your boat, but not looking forward to yet another wire running through your bilge? Wouldn’t it be dandy if all your marine equipment were on one wiring system?That's precisely what Ken Harrison spoke about in one of The Store's Learn from the Experts - electronics seminars.The NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) has designed a

The 'Learn from the Expert' seminars held at The Store were not only fun but I picked up a few good tips on buying marine equipment.Gary Young of Payne’s Marine Group was at The Store in March demonstrating the latest VHF radios and chart plotters from Standard Horizon. There are myriad of new features available in chart plotters and sometimes it’s difficult to decide on which one best suits

Who knew that talking about weather could be so much fun? And that we could go on and on for two hours? Ron Bianchi is full of so much passion for the weather and boaters that he made me laugh out loud - while feverishly taking notes. Ron is a professional meteorologist and an avid sailor. He’s combined both passions into a traveling road show on weather and safe boating. Is Ron a computer

As a novice boater, it’s been a real insight for me to attend the ‘Learn from the Expert’ Seminar series at The Store – Mason’s Chandlery. Lori is right when she says that once boaters have the right information, they feel more comfortable on their boat. And comfort has a lot to do with having fun. Paul and Sheryl Shard of Distant Shores were the first speakers this season. They have been

Gypsy Blues Update to Nov. 02, 2009 ~ FreedomAhhhhh, freedom! After 6 months of working approximately 80 hours a week each, our appreciation of the freedom of cruising life was so blissfully overwhelming! We really must have appeared a little loony, walking around with all of our teeth gleaming in the sunlight for 12 hours of every day.Friday the 30th was a big day for us in the way of purchases.

We had a delightful email from one of the Women on the Water participants from last Wednesday's seminars. Lada has never boated before. She fell in love with boating, when she became involved in developing a site for yachts. She was smitten with the sleekness and elegance of boats and decided that this is something that she would like to try. She started searching for places that she could

The masts are off, the boats are on the hard, some covered in environmentally unfriendly shrink and wrap, some in custom canvas, some not at all. We have all moved on to our winter activities, crew parties, Christmas plans, family obligation, religiously reading and analyzing the Rules of Racing.However, we cannot forget the RACING BANQUET. Yes, one of the biggest parties of the year. A chance to

The second season of 'WOW' - Women on the Water will start again on Wednesday, November 18th. It's a two evening event that I will be hosting at the Port Credit Yacht Club.Whether you boat or not, this is an informal event for women to share stories and exchange notes about boating.

The second last race night of 2009. Happy and sad. Sad; well that's self explanatory. Happy because it's time to get back to work, i.e. running my business - my crew can get on with raising her kids, running her business and sailing off to Bermuda.It was warm, about 20 C, no wave action, breeze between 10 – 12 knots, warm offshore breeze.
