North Channel Charters
It’s been a while since I’ve wrote a blog post. I’ve been Vloging instead. I find it more of a creative outlet than Bloging. When Bloging I did it at the end of the day. Kind of like a diary. With Vloging I’m thinking about what to record and how to do it. I edit every night and post to YouTube. Link: Here.
2019 will be the season that we have a boat for rent in the North Channel. Lots of details to iron out yet but it looks like the boat will be in Little Current.
I still have lots to do to the website. One big thing I need to change is pricing. (This week.)
The new pricing will be $1500/ week. That’s $500 more than I wanted to charge per week! Why??? Insurance.
Here is the link to the Charter site.
Thanks for checking us out. Please share our charter with your friends. It’s a great deal!
That’s the Boat!

Stairs re-built Boat in
Stairs re-built Boat in. I’m ready for another season of sailing on Lake Fanshawe. A little late getting going but I’m ready. I’m the 2nd boat on the lake! Yes 2nd! and the club has been open for a month. I did see another member that said he was putting his boat in today.
I took mom (Aka Grandma) and Jasmine out for dinner tonight. We had Cajun and it was very good. https://youtu.be/xU3tWQUR_3k
Heidi Turns 40 and I Bake.
Heidi Turns 40 and I Bake. Yes a real cake. Yummy one too!
I made Heidi a Moleskin. Yes an area rug out of mole pelts. It’s purple.
Enjoy. https://youtu.be/nk-65b-SJ0A
Siren Strip and Re-Finish.
Siren Strip and Re-Finish. I got it stripped and that took longer than expected. The stripper said that it was to be diluted 4 to 1. After I stripped the topside that way I thought I had done the hull enough. I hadn’t… When it dried I tried to give it a quick wet sand and found out how hard the finish is. It’s too hard to wet sand. So I used the stripper full strength. That works much better!
Once the boat was dry I put the same finish back on.
It looks great! https://youtu.be/WhoRfgha2Rw
Back Home For Mothers Day
Back Home For Mothers Day. I made it back in 3 hours. Only stopped a couple times for coffee along the way. (The only 2 Tim’s along the route I take.) It was windy coming home. Small craft advisory windy. Even on the highway!
I took the girls out for dinner tonight. Pizza.

It runs! Now Pack.
It runs! Now Pack. I got the OB going. It is running great now.
The car started making a new noise today… I thought that it was the front differential (The one with the plastic cap in it…) and decided to change the fluid to see what I could find. Nothing…. No trace of the cap or any fragments of it. Then I put a magnet in… Nothing. No bits of anything. So It’s not that.
It only makes the noise when I accelerate.
I’m taking it to Wiarton tomorrow with my toy boat. I may bring an extra tool kit… https://youtu.be/jYaeK44aSQw
Dock Re-float
Dock Re-float. It’s back in place! Just a little messing about (3 days) and it’s ready for use. I’ve chosen to only use 2 poles instead of 4 and see how that goes. One of the long poles was lost in the flood. The other long one was bent a little. Nothing that I can’t bend back with my pipe bender.
The 7.5 Johnson…. Is driving me crazy. It won’t suck or pump fuel…. https://youtu.be/4UL2xb4IhpI
Dock Wrangling.
Dock Wrangling. Just that much closer… My dock took off and I had to catch it like a wild steer. I got it on the 8th or 9th try. (You count and leave the # in the comments.) https://youtu.be/VRyIpB-TNk0
Night out.
Night out. With Ponies!
We went to a fundraiser for Anova. Women’s support. A great cause.
It was fun and the food was good.
Looking at the water levels I need to go to the lake tomorrow am. Early! I may be moving my dock…. To a mooring ball. https://youtu.be/tc3mKgRZRrE
7.5 Johnson Fuel Pump Fix.
7.5 Johnson Fuel Pump Fix. I had #5 turned 1/4 the wrong way. It’s fixed now.
Found out that Heidi and Jasmine are not coming sailing in Wiarton next weekend. Yea! Boys weekend.
I mean… I’m disappointment that I will miss mothers day with my family. Lol.
See the fix. https://youtu.be/9LDcxixFDBM
