Boat Show

Attended the Boat Show today with fellow boaters Mike & Wanda. There were a lot of really nice boats for people with money. We boarded a few for a tour. I purchased some of the required safety equipment, including flares and a first aid kit.

I visited some of the marina booths. My preferred marina, Outer Harbour (OHM), may be more expensive, as they do not have enough 30 foot slips. I may have to choose a 40 foot slip at a greater cost. I now have a decision to make, do I pay the extra for a bigger, wider slip, an advantage for a rookie boater, or pay less at another marina? I was intrigued by the Toronto Island marina, they have a nice clubhouse, it is considerably less expensive than OHM. Parking for guests would an issue and you have to pay for a tender to get to the island. Not an issue for me, but I may have a hard time getting guests to make the effort.
