I don't like to poke fun at people and that is not my intention here, but we do occasionally see some amusing things here at the marina. The above picture shows a high-thrust Yamaha propeller mounted backward. I have never seen this done before and in this case I can see how it was a bit confusing....
Last night it snowed for the first time. Today the crane is in the yard pulling the boats and docks that are too big to handle with our yard equipment. You can see the snow in the Gatineau hills blending in with the fall colours of the trees.
Ottawa got a lot more sow than we did here in Dunrobi...
Can you believe it is October already? My first season working at a marina since 1995 is already coming to close. It is a short season. As a business we are pretty busy from about mid-April until the end of November, but for most boat owners, the season is not much longer than 8-weeks.
It is always sad to see summer fade away. We had such great boating weather this year on the Ottawa River. It seemed every weekend was hot and sunny. We did have a few days where the wind was high or the rain clouds persisted, but for the most part, this was a fantastic boating season. It is now...
Owning a boat can bring a lot of enjoyment, especially for a family or a group of friends. But not everybody has the time or money that is required fully engage in this fantastic recreation. Ottawa residents are blessed with an abundance of great waterways to enjoy.
