Well, winter means much less excitement in the cruising world for me. I find it somewhat difficult and un-fun to attempt to deal with wet ropes in thick wet, cold gloves, amongst other things, so I haven&#8217;t moved much. I\u00a0 HAVE, however, been busy: ringing lots of bells, and making progress in learning methods.<\/p>\n<p>The big news, though, is that I have now acquired &#8220;Wandering Canuck Too&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The photo is before she was lifted for inspection, and before renaming. I&#8217;m quite (a lot!!) excited about this next phase of my explorations and adventures. I&#8217;ll begin with some preparation work, and I&#8217;ll have to move aboard, but all that is in preparation for taking the boat down the Thames, across the English Channel, and into the waterways of northern Europe (for starters). I&#8217;ll post some more photos as I begin to learn how to run the boat (starting with exiting the crowded marina where the boat is now moored). Watch this space for chronicles of how this process goes!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1244\" style=\"width: 4618px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WC201.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1244\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1244\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1244\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WC201.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Wandering Canuck Too&quot;\" width=\"4608\" height=\"3456\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WC201.jpg 4608w, http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WC201-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WC201-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.mortimer.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/WC201-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4608px) 100vw, 4608px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1244\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Wandering Canuck Too&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know, it has again been some time since I posted.
