Ontario Mac-ers

Post by cuisto »

I am planning an order from kelly hanson marine for a variety of goods and wonder if anyone would like to add to the order and share shipping costs. Am located in Guelph, an would be interested in meeting local mac owners and could split up the lot then.??
Any takers??

Hey there neighbor.

I just placed and order with them for a Chute Scoop and a couple little add-ons. Wish I knew you were in the market for some fixins yourself :|
Oh well, maybe next time, as I am sure there will be a next time. :wink:

If you are interested, a few of us are looking to get together on Lake Simcoe and Lake Ontario this summer. We will be sure to post the info before we go, so just keep a look out for us and join in the fun :)

Cheers

Sorry Catigale,
without writen permission from Her Royal Magesty the Queen,I dont see how we can let you have tea and crumpets with us. :P

I went ahead and ordered my list and am having it shipped to my parents who are visiting my Grandmother in Kansas, Saving on the shipping to Canada and GST and DUTY from CUSTOMS.

Catigale, next time we need a shipment to Canada, we'll ship to you and you can load up the old :macx: we can redezvous at midnight next to the 4th salmon from the left.

Then you can be an honorary Ontarian 8) 8)

Hi Stephen

Absolutely, I say we set up a sail date for Lake Ontario this summer.

All would be welcome.

The more the better.

Heck, even Div could trailer to Lake Erie and sail up to Ontario from there :!:

I picked up my Mac from Bill and drove her home, just north of T.O., overnight :)

Cheers

Lake Erie. Long Point Bay, Port Dover Ontario, Turkey Point Ontario.

I Sail or motor out of Erie Pennsylvania. Its 30 miles North from Erie Pa to Long Point light house. I have spent quite a few nights anchored out there.

From Long Point light house its about 15-20 miles To the closest Canadian town.

Sailing north from the U.S. this area of Canada is the last of the Wilderness.

Highlander:

Can you add another "X" to the tally?

I'm on Lake Ontario and sail out of Whitby.
Lake Simcoe is an hour up Hwy #48.

We've just started filling in the summer calendar with kiddies camps, weddings and all the other obligatory events, so it's filling up fast.

Could I suggest June 2nd or June 23rd weekends for a central Ontario rendevous? - Extended of course to friends and colleagues from afar.

I can hear the corny standup MC now "Is anybody here from out of town?"

Hi Ralph

June 2nd works for me. Although July 7-8 would be better and warmer :)
