Happy Family Day to all those who are celebrating! Here's how to keep the family fun going, on your boat.

The love of boating and the freedom it brings is clear to see across the country, even through these winter months when many are landlocked. We see it in the number of mariners investing in new or new-to-them boats during boat show season. We see it in the eager preparations boaters are making to secure a spot at a marina come spring, and the projects planned or underway. Here’s to a lovely February!

When you head out on the water this year, keep an eye out for human-powered vessels, swimmers, and property that could be impacted by your boat and its wake.

We're thrilled to share Sailing Magic Carpet's origin tale! Maya and Aladino have a goal to sail around the world as slowly as possible. Read their story, and look forward to more of their dispatches in the months to come.

Sailors who meet one another on the water have an often unspoken but much-revered tradition. We raise our hands and wave, not just to say hello, but to assure one another that all is well on board. These quick passes as we are off to our destinations offers an opportunity for camaraderie, but perhaps more importantly, a way to ask for help and receive it if things are not ship-shape. As we all know, 2020 was a challenging year for many. Perhaps you were someone who raised both hands and waved for help, or maybe you were able to render assistance. By taking the time to check in on one another, we lighten the load. For this, we are proud of the boating community, and proud to be a part of it after this year spent navigating the strange and murky waters of 2020.

Here's a few blasts from the past some pearls of wisdom that helped us navigate 2020. https://c-tow.ca/c-tow-connections-december-2020/
