Where do you find the best Ice Cream?
By Catherine Dook
Where do you find the best ice cream?
We had sailed around the Gulf Islands for a couple of weeks, dropping the hook wherever we wanted, and then lying there for days so relaxed as to be in an altered state of consciousness. John called it euphoria, but I called it a ‘coma.’ Whichever it was, we had a wonderful time.
Our two solar panels, shiny with the brilliant sunshine of July, kept our refrigerator running so well (at least during the day) that I was able to keep artisan bread dough chilled, half-a-dozen Mars Bars...

CY People: We Are Sailors … Lorna Bennett and Sheliah Tulloch
By Rob Dunbar
The demographics of sailing are changing, and more women are getting involved and are often rooted in sibling bonds. That is the case of Lorna Bennett and her sister Sheliah Tulloch who currently call the Bedford Basin Yacht Club (BBYC) their home base. From a young age Lorna and Sheliah were introduced to sailing by their father in the late 70’s when he was commodore of the Dobson Yacht Club. During Henry’s tenure, the DYC membership took on the project of building a fleet of sailing prams for the local children.

Scarab 255 Open
By Andy Adams and John Armstrong
You can imagine,at the GroupeBeneteau dealer meeting in Michigan last fall where all the Four Winns, Scarab, Wellcraft, and Glastrondealers had come to see the latest new models, the docks were lined up with gleaming brand-new boats to show the dealers and media – and they certainly put on a show! But for me, the Scarab 255 Open was an immediate stand out. This is a boat that breaks new ground and brings fresh thinking and interpretation of the boating experience to a wide range of buyers.
We had a quick look around but the test drives would have to wait until the next day.

Nautical Fashions: Look Good – Feel Great
By Kris Hughes
Starting from the top. If you partake in any winter activities, you have probably heard that your head is the body’s single biggest source of heat loss. This is a myth; your head isn’t the single biggest point of heat loss, butyour head and face are more sensitive to temperature than other parts of your body, so a toque on a cold day can make a huge difference in your comfort level.
Being physically comfortable is important. It makes your outdoor experiences more enjoyable and probably more successful...
