Part 1 of a 2 part series on traversing the Trent Severn Waterway to Georgian Bay, and then exploring Georgian Bay and the North Channel. Part 1 is presented by Matthew Bastian.
This past summer Matthew and his wife Judy spent 6 weeks transitioning the boat from Kingston to Little Current on Manitoulin Island via the Trent-Severn water way and Georgian Bay.
Find out first-hand information not readily available on the internet about transiting the Trent-Severn waterway. Matthew will cover topics such as: where to get your mast stepped, the challenge of locking and dealing with prop walk, costs, and the fun social aspects of the journey.
Matthew sailed his Bayfield 25 for five years out of NSC. For three of those, he hauled his Bayfield 25 to the North Channel for multi week vacations. Four years ago he purchased a 37′ Hunter Cheribini which he sailed out of Collins Bay marina in Kingston on Lake Ontario.
The galley will open at 5pm, so come early for supper and drinks, and then stay for the presentation which starts at 7.30 pm. All are welcome, and there is no fee for admission. We will merely request a small voluntary contribution to the Legacy Fund (supporting youth sailors).
