In 2024 “Water Ways TV” debuted a new show, “Water Ways Ontario”, on the Global TV network and I was invited to be on the Georgian Bay episode!
It has recently been made available online and focuses on the 30,000 Islands, Stanley Boats in Parry Sound, and the Penetanguishene area. Click link below to see the full episode:
Another fantastic boating season behind us and with the boats now wrapped in preparation for winter, it’s time to think about another type of wrapping – gifts for the Holiday Season!
For family and friends, co-workers and those special people in your life – regardless if they’ve been naughty or nice – I have a few Georgian Bay-themed gift ideas that are under $100. Check them out:
The falls at Go Home are a great place to visit by dinghy or small boat, the journey being just as fun as the destination!
Go Home – a beautiful water access cottage community just north of Cognashene – recently celebrated its 125th anniversary. There are a few stories about how this area was named, the more popular being for the loggers who drove the timber down the Musquash river system into the Bay during the 1800’s – once they had delivered their log booms to the local wharf for transport by steamer, their job was complete and they could “go home”.
By the turn of the 20th century that same wharf began to welcome what would become the original “Go Home” cottage settlers, along with supply ships throughout the summer months bringing mail, visitors, and sundries. Today it is still the social hub of the community, hosting many get togethers for the local cottage association members to participate in.
