Re: Calling All Ontario Members
Well we have likely seen you in Chicken Bay as we tend to end up there most weekends at some point. We live in Sutton but our new (to us) boat will be moored at the Beaverton Yacht club. Stop and say hi if you see us on the water.

heatz1express chiming in from the south shore of Lake Simcoe (Black River). Been boating since I was old enough to sit up (more like propped up) in a cardboard box with an open lid that my parents used to sit me in in the middle of their canoe. That was in Sudbury on Lake Ramsey. My first boat was that same canoe with a 2.5 h.p. Yamaha! Did a ton of fishing out of it all over Northern Ontario It used to be all about the fishing for me but now that I am completely boat whipped I am happy to just be out on the water.
Don't have a canoe anymore but I have more then made up for it's absence. Including the kayak, paddleboat, 3 dinghies and 2 waverunners I'm up to like 13 boats now. I've got a 16ft. Peterborough pontoon w/30 h.p. Yamaha, 18 ft. Bonito center console w/115 h.p. Yamaha, 20 ft. Peterborough Express Cruiser w/305 Chev., 22.5 ft. SeaRay SRV w/350 Chev, and a 13 ft. smuggler jet boat w/ 70 hp. Nissan. Also, believe it or not I am looking to add to the fleet with the pending purchase of a 35.5 ft. cruiser. Needless to say I am going to have to sell a couple of boats this year! trailers for all, but tend to just use the trailers for launch as we are fortunate to be on the water and to have our own docks (one of the docks is a boat that I made into a dock but it is not a dock, it is a boat that works great as a dock!
My Family and I boat mainly on Lake Simcoe, but have been all up and down the T.S.W. to Georgian Bay going North and East we have gone as far as Peterborough. We fish, tube, wakeboard, cruise, overnight and entertain friends and family. More then likely you will find us in Chicken Bay.
It is a small world so I expect I will see at least some of you on the water this Summer!
Recently saw stats that showed we have several hundred thousand more boats registered in Ontario than there is in FLORIDA. on the one hand I was surprised but on the other it is no wonder with all the awesome boating opportunities here! Cheers!
