End of Season Boating Getaway

[@jamestaylor2607]

Such a gorgeous boat! The perfect boat, in my opinion.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

We've been really happy with this one. After going through five previous Sea Rays, this one has been a really good fit for us.

[@TheRetiredBoater]

Damn it, I was shaking my head as you made me want to go boating so badly and that's from all aspect of the video... Love the back view with the boat's waves... sooooo peaceful and brings back those unforgetable unique (and nostalgic) memories: I could watch that for hours. Plus, the water does look so clear, and your glasses are perfectly reflective and showing the bow as you drive, bonus, lol. You both look like you're having the time of your lives... honest, brought emotions. "Boogaboo lives on." Amen. So looking forward to the second part already, greedy me, it adds to the quality of my life what can I say, lol.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

This was a very refreshing getaway for us and made us return to looking forward to more boat trips next season. That feeling has been missing for awhile :-/

[@TheRetiredBoater]

I meant to ask, you went for a black canvas for your boat. If I recall, this is the most popular selection and by default costs less. How do you feel about it years in? Good choice? Neutral colour? Is it hotter in the cockpit? Does dust or stain show more or less? Easy to clean? I’m putting money aside to have mine replaced in a few years.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

@TheRetiredBoater How did you know I've got a video on this very subject coming out soon?? Great minds, eh 😜

[@monoskier2112]

Great video, looking forward to the next one 😎🇨🇦

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Wonderful! My latest video just went live this morning - a long look back at our prior 300 Sundancer. Looking forward to hearing your impressions on that one 🤓

[@BikeBoatandTravel]

LOL… Akima (that sailboat). Was docked across from us at Lock 43 on our last trip recently. Lovin this extended summer!!!

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

It sure has been incredible weather! Make the most of it before she fades away . . .

[@DL334]

We just took our SD380 to bed for the winter. Beautiful ride from Charlavoix to Northport. I miss it already!!!!

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

We have two more weekends before the marina starts preparing for haul-out. Hope to squeeze a little more boating time before then to make up for all that we missed this season. . .

[@joanneiler2415]

Awesome video as always enjoy them anchor girl is awesome and boogaboo is the best ! Happy travels stay safe!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Yes they are! ☺️

[@mattie3595]

Ohhhh yaa. Orillia - spent a week there one day.....

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

I almost spent a night in the crowbar motel there one time . . . 🫣👮‍♂️🔒

[@jetlag4754]

Great trip! I have about 4 more weeks and Jetlag gets hauled out and tucked away for the winter.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

And then you go into heated storage, you lucky guy! We have two more weekends and then the marina starts prepping for haulout...

[@dannettepeters1507]

Marketing or false advertising? Anyway, wonderfully quiet and peaceful spot for a little get away! Back in the day some of my favorite boating was in the fall, weather depending even during winter months!

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

I call it 'creative salesmanship' 😜 Yes, it was a pleasure to return to this spot after many years being away. The best part was that it was so quiet and not busy at all. Of course, the fantastic weather helped a lot as well. And getting us and the boat out in the open was a wonderful feeling! 😀

[@markm5002]

@@BoatingWithBoogaboo Actually, it's not 100% "creative". Although, sailboats are not likely to be docked at the port, especially with sails up, there are many sailboats on Couch. There is a sailing club that has a regatta every Wednesday evening and not all are small.

[@markm5002]

I just emailed you a photo from today after I watched your video. Coincidence?

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Awesome. Thanks for your insights.

[@ampegor]

The last two weeks have been amazing weather wise - best of the summer - sunny and calm - and our boat is on the hard as of Friday :(.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Yes, the weather has been what we've been waiting for all season! This recent getaway was a last minute call and just what the Boating Doctor ordered. It's amazing how our change of pace and actually not being on the boat has changed our outlook, with this simple 24 hour getaway feeling really good and rejuvenating our spirits. Of course, we only have two more weekends before our marina starts doing their thing and we call it for another year. Oh well, there's always next year! 😁

[@610boating5]

It's a crazy thing how much pets matter when the kids are gone.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

They are my little buddies. And a lot cheaper to maintain 😉

[@610boating5]

@@BoatingWithBoogaboo I hear ya, our pets lived outside when the kids were here, now they sleep on the sofa.

[@JohnAnderson-sq8lt]

Best 2 weeks of the summer, too bad it is coming to an end!

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

It certainly has been! Last weekend we took all the Kids and little Kidlets away to everyone's favourite tourist trap at Niagara Falls and had a wonderful time, especially with the perfect weather conditions. Of course, we missed out on a fantastic boating weekend, but that's okay. Our marina has already begun emailing the notices for us to prepare for - in their words - the 'Dreaded H Word' that's coming soon. Oh well, after the completely upside down season we experienced this year, both Anchor Girl and I are perfectly fine with the season winding down and are looking forward to a renewed boating year in '25!

[@thehappymoth]

Couldn't that sailboat be looping clockwise and be almost done?

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

It could be. Or had already completed the Loop previously but kept the AGLCA burgee on their boat, as many do. Might even still prepping for next year and hasn't even left yet? As I say in the video, no point in speculation and I never had a chance to speak with the owners...

[@TimothyAshby-op8fw]

Why don’t you back in? Doesn’t your power run from the stern?

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Watch the video again for both of those answers...

[@TimothyAshby-op8fw]

Never mind you explained. lol

[@greensdreams]

We had a spectacular weekend at Kellys island on lake Erie. Lets hope we have a couple more good weekends before the season ends.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Right now, it's looking that way for us fingers crossed 😎

[@claymiller8821]

Amen to that. We did Kelly's Friday night and PIB Sat night. All done for the season on our big boat. We'll get out on our smaller bow rider till hopefully November.

[@BobEstler]

As a sailor, you just don't put the sales up while tied to the dock.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

I too thought that was a given 😂

[@scottsmith1229]

wear a life preserver anchor girl, we don't want anything happening to you

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Something did happen to her this summer. Check back in my videos to learn more ..
