Completed a fairly complex (for me) re-rigging of our catboat. Because the sail is gaff-rigged, there is an additional spar, much like the boom that is above the sail. The luff (front edge) of the sail is tied to wooden hoops that ride up the mast when the sail is raised.
Today, we just listed seven, soon to be an eighth building lot in Gravenhurst in a very upscale subdivision off Beach Road. Have a look here for additional details, then give us a call or come by to see the area.
We raised the mast on the catboat today. It looks so much more like a sail boat now. Normally this would be something done in May, but hey, this is when we were able to bring it all together. I am hoping for two weeks or so with some really good sailing days. Next, I … Read more

I just completed uploading the Muskoka Watershed Council, July 21 lectures to YouTube. If you missed the lectures in July, this is a great opportunity to learn the latest on two invasive species; the Rusty Crayfish and the Spiny Water Flea. Both, threatening bio-diversity here in Muskoka.
We’ve been reminding people for years that buildings come and go, but the property doesn’t. When viewing cottages for sale, people typically spend too much time in the buildings and not enough outside. I saw one today that is good value. In a great neighbourhood of $2 million plus, yet it is priced at $825, … Read more
