The YNOT Donzi “BB” headed out for some fun

A huge thanks to The YNOT Yacht guys and Chris Bullen for sharing some amazing photos this week from the huge Gravenhurst show. Only one small problem. ALL the dam photos are amazing! Literally around 200 photos!  So we are going to break up the report into several reports. Hope that’s okay with everyone. Darn, two days of great photos from a great place! How will we survive. And guess what? no captions, so I get to make them up!

    The best and most boat houses I have ever seen are on this group of lakes bar none.
    That is of course after you take Lee Andersons out of the equation.
    It worth the trip just to tour this group of lakes to view the boat houses .
    This very historic cottage country was developed before roads, thus it was by boat that you traveled to the cottages often by chauffeured launch, Tolka was built fo these lakes. In order to protect these great boats from sometimes violent weather as well as for winter storage the great boat houses of the Muskokas evolved. You can tour these lakes on the 1887 steamship Segwun. This is north America’s oldest operating coal fired steamship, a bucket list item for every woody boater.

    Winnipesaukee has some incredible boat houses. Taking the boat house tour is high on my bucket list.

    Thanks to Chris Bullen for all the organizing and taking everyone else’s picture. I think it’s about time we finally had a picture of him.

      Thank you so much to Chris and Julie Bullen and Linda and Rich Hughes and others who spent countless hours organizing all of the events leading up to the Gravenhurst show. We met lots of new people, got the opportunity to see inside some unbelievably amazing boathouses and most importantly, we got to run our boats on the beautiful waters of Muskoka.

    6-7 Shepherds there and not ONE PHOTO , sorry but I did not get my fix on this one, maybe in another episode to come:)
    We will be there again next year but the show is so intense I cant promise any photos.:):)

    Only water front that could possibly top this area for volume of jaw drop has to be on the St Lawrence river. Be there in 18 days for a week running the river, and seeing old friends.
