This is an extremely tardy entry which I do apologize for but it wasn’t without reason. I’ve been working on a different blog engine entirely that is a bit more aligned to what I use it for plus a few other features that I think would be useful/interesting. It’s still a work in progress so […]

Posted from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. So it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Primarily because I haven’t had much to talk about for the last little while (a bit hard to believe I know). So let me do a quick recap for what’s gone on. Winter aboard a boat can be a lot of fun […]

Life, I have found, doesn’t give a rodents fart for your carefully laid plans. Case in point, this past month and a bit. Originally I had hoped that by now I’d be insulating the v-birth whereas I’m still trying to get around to attaching the portholes to the hull. So what happened? Let me regale […]

No seriously. Apparently going to sleep around midnight was only the 1/2 time show to a series of “Did that just happen?” events. Fortunately this one is a bit shorter to explain… But basically… While I was brushing my teeth in the head I looked out the porthole and promptly did a spit take. I […]

So first off my brother in law is here for a week to see what life afloat is like. Today when I got back from work we decided to go off for a toddle in the dingy around the islands with him. Jeannie, Jonathan and myself (The 3 J-kateers?) went around Center Island, by RCYC […]

So as some of you know I tend to get some pretty spectacular migraines at times. And sometimes I don’t always make the best decisions while in this state. THAT BEING SAID I took our little dingy and motored around the entire Toronto Islands. It took a bit over an hour and it kinda got […]

Here’s the finalĀ installmentĀ of Hurricane Sandy… And in true Josh style it’s several months late. First a quick confession. I had debated about not posting this as we were very close to possibly giving up and selling the boat out right after all the issues we had over winter which is why this blog hasn’t been […]

I guess I could call this “What did YOU do on your weekend Part 2” but it was a few weekends apart and I don’t feel like changing the title of this post now… So ya… This weekend we (or rather I) decided that it was time to get back into the swing of things […]

So although this is the 3rd year I’ve been at the Toronto Island’s Jeannie and I have very rarely (if ever) participated with the events that go on on the islands themselves. It’s usually because we’re busy or our schedule for not being on the island doesn’t line up with theirs (either we’re up north […]

As a friend of mine pointed out a lot of my posts tend to be along the lines of “Wow. I haven’t posted here for a while.” so here’s another one. Although arguably it’s not without good reason. Not last Saturday but the Saturday before (May 26th) I got married to Jeannie (there are a […]
