I just received the official word from our yacht club’s president, they are closed for the season, at least it will give me more time to work on the boat and get her shipshape for next season
So sorry to hear that. that really sucksI just received the official word from our yacht club’s president, they are closed for the season, at least it will give me more time to work on the boat and get her shipshape for next season
Sorry to hear that Fred. Our club just informed us the province has opened access to boat yards but the city is still not letting us in. Kind of sucks your club has decided to stay closed for the summer, our club is trying to get all the clubs in the city together to put pressure on the city to at least let us get to our boats for maintenance.I just received the official word from our yacht club’s president, they are closed for the season, at least it will give me more time to work on the boat and get her shipshape for next season
What do you mean, "relive" it never stopped. Have you tried to buy real Havana Club in the states? Or cigars from a certain island nation in the Caribbean?So unless one wants to relive the days of "Prohibition and border running" it sound like now the sailing will be within the confines of the US. Still plenty of water to explore.
It is Provincial that the marinas could work on the boats and launch, but the marinas are closed to the public. They city cannot change that.Sorry to hear that Fred.

It seems as you and I a much different take on the words 'eye candy". lolThere should be some spectacular "eye candy" coming as you guys tweak your boats.

Hey @jssailem I think the term you were looking for is "boat porn".There should be some spectacular "eye candy" coming as you guys tweak your boats.
I'm surprised you could do that. Being a club are you considered owners rather than public? All the marinas in Georgian Bay are closed to boat owners, but the marina can work on boats etc.Sorry to hear that. Our Board (National Yacht Club- Toronto) has done a great job in working through this. We have been able to go to the yard for prepping since early this month, yard boat owners set into 4 groups, based on boat positions in the yard so that no one is working next to any one. Each group scheduled every 4th day. Now if the weather would just co-operate! Launch is scheduled for first weekend in June but may get changed. How that is going to happen with keeping people distant is still to be seen.
I am not sure how the board worked through all this, but they have been in constant contact with the city and the provincial Government. Our Commodore is a Fire Chief in the GTA and has done a very good job.I'm surprised you could do that. Being a club are you considered owners rather than public?
