Finally got her on the water. Still some things needed to do, but pretty happy so far. Props still need to be dialed in.






Very happy young captain.

Beautiful boat. You're a lot younger than I thought...

Very nice Ian!

John, too funny! :)

Beautiful

Thanks John and Mark. Just trying to find time to enjoy and finish the few things left.

Thank you Steve.

I was looking through some pictures and I found another one of Berkeley at the helm. This boat is my sister's Edgewater 20. .

This photo was from 2010.

Ian: My Dad had me driving boats from the time I was 5 and always had me doing things that were a little on the edge for a young kid (like backing our 42' Connie into a crowded harbor at the Sportsman's Inn in Killarney, ON while he stood on the bow when I was 12).The result is that I'm 57 and driving boats (any kind, power or sail) is still the thing I enjoy doing most. Keep it up and cut him loose a little. He will remember it!

Leigh - he just completed his Ontario pleasure craft operators card. I made him do that before any chance of being cut loose. He is about ready for solo adventures in a welded aluminum Stanley with a 15 or 25 Honda outboard that we have.

He is getting pretty competent behind the wheel.

We need to catch up in person since I am just around the corner from you.

Give me a shout or email.
