..... but, as of this year, we start living ashore in winters.
...
If you asked me, I would not have done it any different. Whether in the Caribbean or icebound on the Great Lakes, life could not be better than aboard a boat. I think we are more healthy because of it.
After some fifteen years in the south, the change of seasons up in Ontario Canada was much welcomed by both myself and my wife. A wood stove crackling inside and a nasty cold wind blows across the frozen bay. Deer, wolves, coyotes, river otters, wild turkeys all around us.
...
Had a good run, but getting too old to shovel snow and the price of electricity makes it not so feasible to stay onboard for the winters in Ontario anymore.
Soon the boat will be icebound (they can't haul us out where we are located) and we will be in our apartment only a few minutes away, overlooking the rushing waters of Big Bob Channel where it never freezes (I need that), right at Lock 32 of the Trent Severn Waterway.
...
We have had webcams uploading from the boat since 2003, they will keep working. At our summer dock for now, but soon will be looking over the icy waters of Pigeon Lake.
