Buying a Canon Printer has been the worse decision in a long time, the HP printer scanner just worked. MF654 I think I have spent more time trying to get it to work or waiting for it to print than it has actual worked. Canon Canada

Some nice chrome bling on some older winches with beautiful shape set up against some varnish. A hard combination to beat.

Let’s all work towards keeping the coastline beautiful and clean.

Not only is abandoning your boat illegal, but it also harms the environment and creates navigational hazards.

Be a responsible boat owner this and dispose of your boat properly. And if you spot an abandoned or wrecked boat, report it.

I was on the Queen of Oak Bay coming into Nanaimo the other day and what a horn she has it was a beautiful multi chine note. Its interesting things that use to matter, not just a noise maker but a chime.

While I love the electrification revolution and how it enhances, extends and expands what we can do on our boats, the extra parts required can be vast. Please remember that these items are not set and forget, they require attention from time to time. Keep the connections clean and free of corrosion, use a torque wrench to set the fasteners and retorque them after a break in period as engine vibration can loosen the connections and follow ABYC and manufactures instructions when doing installs. The electrical standards alone are not enough, remember there can be other standards to take into account like gasoline or diesel fuel. Visual inspections from time to time looking for signs of overheat, fasteners getting loose or arc's can help prevent poor performance and or fires. Safe fun boating
