G, JL, I just came back to visit this website. Can't help but notice, you have the kind of boating love I have, maybe worse! April in Canada? How cold is that?
You ask what kind of boat I have. Sorry to get back to you so late in the season, which I know you are enjoying-great year so...
Hey John Lamon and Chris, I agree. There's something to be said for, when the day begins and when it ends; the anticipation and relaxation at the end of the day. Either way, it's indescribable to landlubbers. I wish I could infuse them all with the experience on the water. Might need a...
I read Boating and use the website at: boatingmag.com It's one of the most comprehensive I've found.
Boating World is a good one
If you're a member of Boat/US you get the magazine, Boat/US Magazine (all matters affecting boaters) and Seaworthy. Both great publications I think. I notice...
One of the best thirst quenchers I know when lounging on a boat is beer. I rarely drink beer any other time of the year except for boating season. My wife is sick of it already and it's only early August. I'm searching for an alternative that is mildly alcoholic like beer, low in carbs and a...
Storage is a problem on my boat. My wife and I never seem to have enough room for all the things we bring with us when we're on the hook. We've found a simple bedding solution that not only is a space saver, but is comfortable, sanitary solution to sleeping on a boat. Boat Bedding
My wife and I have been using vinyl cleaner for years and it doesn't really help with mold and mildew. We discovered a new product called Krud Kutter that seems to get at the little critters. She applies Krud Kutter, lets it soak in, then gently rubs the vinyl with "Magic Eraser". That's the...
FYI, there's a new boating app out for the iPhone called Boat Load. It features weather data and forecasts, tide tables, GPS, mapping for marinas and trip planning tools. You can get it at the iToons store. Nice little backup for $4.99 if you like techo gadgets. :thumb:

My wife and I discovered a product that really works well on cleaning mold and mildew off of canvas boat covers. Everyone seems to have their trade secrets, but this is the best I've found and I've been attacking this nasty problem for years. I think it's the quickest and easiest way. No elbow...
The Fourth of July is almost here. I think it's the best boating holiday on the water, especially if there are fireworks in the area. I found an incredible, brilliant pyrotechnic video display of set to music which will get you in the mood and just in time. I call it simply: Independence Day...
There are a lot of articles about boating safety, safety on the water, safety devices and they're all relevant and important, but on a related subject drowning seems to be at the heart of the discussion. Drowning is the number two cause of accidental death in children, age 15 and under (just...
One of the best times to be "on the hook" is in the morning when the sun is coming up, in the evening when the sun is going down and all the times in between! But, all things being equal, I think morning wins the prize for being the most peaceful time of the day. More...

How do you prepare for boating season? Every year around this time, sometimes earlier, I take out my Spring prep list and gather up all the tools, rags, cleaners and lubricants I'm going to need to put my boat in the water, clean, mobile and safe. How do you prepare for your season? Do you...
