Re: Summer 2013: Photos
Very nice photos so far. Here is one that the admiral would shoot me for, but I am only posting it since it addresses another thread on how bimini's can be rigged for sailing. There is another piece that zips in the gap to entirely enclose the cockpit when not sailing. Have to zoom in a bit to see.

Shown here under sail:

Both taken on Reservoir Baskatong last August.

I love seeing all your beautiful sunny photos on perfect white beaches, but here on the Southern Canadian Pacific shores sometimes in the spring we have to take what we can get, and that means a little liquid sunshine now and again … but life is what we make it, and fun is a state of mind

My favorite pic of the summer. Early calm sunny morning on the Ottawa river. The wind picked up shortly after for a great day of sailing. It doesn't get any better!

Re: Summer 2013: Photos
Hey Wind Chime, the white sand beach in my pic is on Third Sister Isand in front of Ganges taken the weekend of the MYBC Rendezvous.... although I know you knew that. I just don't want everyone to think we Canucks have all converted our Macs to Icebreakers and wear lumberjack shirts and fur hats while sailing in July...except Bob cause I'm sure he must LOL
