Canadian warship going past my marina in Cardiff.

My first boat was a 2000 Four Winns 268 that I bought in 2018. Sold it in 2019 and it went off to another marina on Georgian Bay. I spotted it today at my marina! Lots of great memories came flooding back.

Memorial Day

My girls were off from school today so I took them across the bay to Fire Island. Was Awesome, pretty much the only ones on the beach. And to top it off, before we headed over we got to see the infamous @diggin2day1 dropping his boat in 😂⚓️.

@YYZRC Funny, not long ago I come across our 2007 Rinker 246BR (bought it new) parked in the back lot of my dealer. It had turned to a total turd.
No great memories came flooding back. Was so strange. Not even sure how it could get soooo bad.

YYZRC

@mattie boat flip opportunity?! 

I will say that cosmetically at least my old Four Winns hasn’t received any love since I sold it. 

mattie

@YYZRC Nah, the 246 was pretty much junk. Hard to believe in that short of time - mold, gel coat color almost gone, interior trashed, trailer looked 1000yrs old. Shocking.
Funny world.

YYZRC

Sad to hear but not really surprising I suppose. Lots of people just let things rot. Not how I was raised.

Same with the Bayliner we had - I kept it pristine, was a 91. First sign was not getting cleaned and black and green gunk building up at the dock - had to walk past each day reminding ourselves its not ours anymore. Then no shrink wrap so the camper top and frame collapsed from snow

captkevin

Hard to believe how many people don't take care of boats. 

Pat310

My 96 Mariah that i sold. Breaks my heart. New owner had the yard remove the shrink wrap 2 years ago and has never been heard from again. And yes that is a weed growing out of the upholstery. Ugg

mattie

@Pat310 what a bummer.
Got a good saying written on our white board at the office:

'how you do anything - is how you do everything'

captkevin

So sad that anyone would buy a boat just to let it rot

Saw this guy on the beach this morning. Looked like a species of shark.

rasbury

And I love it...I'm a 007 kind of guy.

Willhound

Juvenile Blacktip shark.

Spiny dogfish. Steals bait and then if caught loves to wrap itself in the lines. Extra fun when you have a rig with multiple hooks

aero3113

Thanks @Rich_ . @Willhound I don’t think we have black tip this far north.

I think one of our flamingos partied a little too hard last night! 😂

Ian

Stop spiking their water bowl…

captkevin

I know the feeling

aero3113

LoL!

My neighbor bought me this floor mat. I cut it to fit, and added snaps to utilize what snaps were already on the floor. Part of me wishes I centered it to the walkway and not centered to the door but either way looks great!⚓️ 
I figured if I left it on the dock or swim platform it wouldn’t lasting too long with the elements and sun.

Ian

Nice

captkevin

Nice neighbor
