      • One of my goals as a boater has always been to cast off and do the Great Circle—I mean the entire circle in a single trip. However, given my life and editorial constraints, at present I’ll have to be content with experiencing, and sharing with our readers, only parts of the trip when the opportunity arises. One such chance came last summer when my fiancé and I were able to escape for a week-long trip alone on the Ottawa River. It left us wanting more.

      • "First we went to St. George Street and visited the oldest house in the United States. Then we went to Hospital Street and seen the oldest house in the United States. Then we turned the corner and went down St. Francis Street and inspected the oldest house in the United States.

      • TODAY, IT'S BECOMING more and more difficult to find a little sliver of paradise, or a private cove to cast a hook for the evening. Boaters may find their favorite harbor overrun with weekend sun worshippers. If you're in the mood for a little travel, however, point your bow east and head for the Bahamas.Yes Paradise Island is nice, but there is much more to do in the Out Islands. It is a sportsman's paradise, full of activities for the boater, angler, diver, and beach bum.
