Thanks for great videos, 1000 islands and the Rideau are on my long weekend explore lists. Very much connect with your thinking on experiences and making memories.
Thanks. Yes sailing is an awesome way to go exploring. Creating this video gave me fun memories of the summer while I’m sitting here in the winter. Can’t wait for summer to come.
You two are a great pair! Love the videos with the cottages on the islands. Go to Harbor Freight and get a cheap air compressor (assuming you have a generator) to pump up Janice's paddle board. Thank you for the video.
Thanks. We do have fun together and hopefully it shows in the videos. YES. We definitely need to come up with an electric pump option for the SUP. I can be doing that every time she decides she wants to go for a quick paddle. My concern it it has one of those twist locking connections from the hand pump to the SUP. I am not sure what 12 vold electric pump would come with that type of hose and attachement. We have a 12volt car tire pump but clearly that is meant for small volumes of air and does not have the right size hose to pump up the SUP. I will have to look around on google for something for next summer.
Ha ha. Thanks. It was so much work! Can you imagine having To pump that up every single day. That’s why once Janice decides she’s using it for the weekend it stays inflated. But unfortunately have to be deflated when we leave it at the dock. So I am going to get a serious amount of arm workouts with this on board
Great footage, what time of year was that? You have beautiful sailing grounds. Pretty cool watching the other sailboats heel as they go by. Thanks for sharing with us dreamers!
Thanks. That footage was shot on the weekend of July 29th. Canada is a beautiful place in the late spring, summer and fall. But, WINTER SUCKS! But that is just our feeling. ha ha. So we will not miss the winters when we finally leave to go sailing full time.
Oh, very cool. Next time come over and say hi. Hopefully we see you out on the water next summer (after July when I am back from the 10,000 mile voyage).
Great videos! We should all promote paying the dues to be on the islands though. We'd all like Parks Canada to continue to maintain them for years to come, and even for a short time on the island, using the dock, the facilities, etc has an impact. Let's all do our part and keep the islands open, pay the $9!
Old video so not sure what fee we mentioned. I know to dock our boat on a park island for an afternoon with no water or power was like $40. Not $9. $9 I would be happy to pay.
In Denmark, and generally in Scandinavia, sailors wave at each other upon passing by. I don't see this nice gesture happening over there. Is that true?
Yes. People wave here as well as long as you’re fairly close to each other. If you look closely that guy sailing by did wave at us. You have to remember sometimes we are filming this with a zoom lens so the boat looks closer to us than it really is. If they’re pretty far away they’re not gonna wave if they don’t think you can see them. Don’t worry Canada is super friendly. 😁
