Her Nibs 24141

Around 1984. Logged alot of nautical miles on this C&C35Mk 1. A typical Saturday DRYA race would include over 200 boats. Only dacron back then, no bow sprits, just fun sailing using muscle to get around the course.

Good Morning from Peche Island

The island was formed from a peninsula of the Canadian shore by the action of the Detroit River. There is a central marsh on the island. The present channel was eroded until the core of the island remained. There are man-made channels cut through the island to ensure fresh water supply and recreational opportunities. The island's flora and fauna have been heavily impacted by human activity, and the forest is the result of a rehabilitation program.

Dogging a Spitfire




Looks a little scary dogging this Spitfire. Not really though. This full size replica sits on a pedestal in Jackson Park, Windsor, Ontario.
