Strolling along the waterfront in Halifax, Nova Scotia soaking up a beautiful Fall day, doing some boat watching (and drooling).
This pair of Fleming motor yachts were particularly noteworthy. Every inch of these vessels sparkled. Both from Florida, possibly traveling together.

Getting new Teignbridge props from England would have taken 3-4 months, meaning we'd have to winterize here in Detroit and be homeless (boatless) until April. To shorten a VERY long story, I was able to fit a pair of US-made props, but only by doing some creative engineering. We're back in the water, and I'll find out tomorrow how they perform.

New Igloo Drink Cooler
I just bought this igloo drink cooler to mix up some premade margs and found out it has clips that hang on the seat rail on my 270.

Guess where I got the props ... new old stock at GLS! They were built in 2013 for Tiara, and somehow GLS ended up with them. We rented a van and drove 5 hours to Wisconsin to pick them up.

Re: Lets see your best sunset pics!
Taken last evening. Top image: Just put the boat on the mooring, and heading back to shore in the dinghy, we saw this localized rain-shower over the west side of our cove, illuminated by the setting sun. Just after we got back on shore my wife received a text from our friend who works on the cable ferry just around the corner, on the other side of the hill in the first pic. Bottom pic is the image of that same event our friend took from the ferry.

Haven't posted in awhile. I lurk every day. Had to accompany a family member to a medical appointment in Toronto. Done early so walked around the lakefront. Pics from Queens Harbour marina at Harbourfront Centre. Beauty day. Nice 290 EX.

Re: Pic Of The Day
Traveled 500 miles positioning the boat then another 500 over 3 weeks with 2 other couples. This was a trip of a lifetime and has endless memories. Every day was filled with hiking, walking, swimming, special dinners and this list goes on. The jet boat ride in dent island rapids was hard to capture on a camera. You can see videos on YouTube.
My wife and I are really looking forward to being able to upgrade our boat and be able to take family and friends on a big trip like this.
Victoria BC was our last place we stopped before moving the boat home.

Re: Pic Of The Day
@aero3113- The Welland requires one person at the helm and two line handlers on deck because the locks can have a lot of turbulence. I don't recall seeing an age restriction, but the line handlers need good skills and physical ability. It wouldn't be safe to use a small child. Also it can be a very long day (12 hours or more depending on commercial traffic).
This is Locks 4-5-6 ... three connected locks that climb 120 feet up over the Niagara Escarpment (the same geological feature that forms Niagara Falls).
This is inside one of the locks. Lock workers up at the top throw two lines down to the line handlers. It takes 20-30 minutes to fill the lock. Need to have good fenders!

Re: Pic Of The Day
Ever had an ice cream rum drink called a Hummer? We're at Bayview Yacht Club where bartender Jerome Adams invented the drink back in the late 60's! One of the displays inside their beautiful clubhouse is this little diorama of the bar with Mr. Adams (on the right) and some of the other long-time bartenders. The level of detail is just spectacular.
