- After a year and a half of work, upgrades and repairs, Boogaboo was finally ready to do some serious cruising! And do that is just what we did.
This is Day One of our Epic 2018 Boat Cruise, as we left our marina and headed through the first leg of our Trent Severn Waterway adventure. We landed at Lock 39 of the TSW and enjoyed a really good first part of our trip.
Check out my Playlist for the entire 'Epic 2018 Boat Cruise' series, as new videos are uploaded; • Epic 2018 Boat Cruise
Song: 'Bed and Breakfast' by The 126ers, UA-cam Audio Library.
Filmed July, 2018.

Known as the best fresh water cruising grounds in the world, Georgian Bay is located in the heart of the Great Lakes and forms part of Lake Huron. Renowned for is rugged beauty, Georgian Bay has been attracting adventurous boaters for over a century, but it's rocky shoreline and challenging navigation routes are not for the faint hearted and must be approached with the greatest care and respect. I'm happy to share our own adventures through this inspiring area with my 'Georgian Bay Boating' Playlist here: • Georgian Bay Boating

Glad you got the projects done and taking a vacation boating trip! We celebrated my b-day Saturday at the marina, the Farmer's Market and then lunch at a local restaurant, and on the walk back ran into the boat broker who sold our boat for us about 2 years ago. He mentioned that the buyer had moved the boat back into our marina, so the broker asked if we wanted to take a look at what the buyer did to it. What a trip down memory lane, he added radar, a much better dinghy system and smaller OB motor and had replaced a lot of things on the boat. Apparently it helps to have $$$. It's been 10 years since we bought the boat, 2 since selling it, and yes it does tug at the heart a little bit but hard to afford it going forward. For those who love boating... there is nothing else like it! Fun times. Looking forward to more updates and video of your vacation trip! Cheers!
Cool story, thanks for sharing.
Agreed that once you've done a fair amount of #boating, there's nothing like it. And now that we are back out, doing some serious #cruising, it really gets under the skin.
I hope you'll look forward to the rest of my videos in this series. I'll be doing some reminiscing of our own boating memories in the next one 🎥
Cheers, Paul.
We did the same stretch last week. We spent the first night in Fenelon Falls, then did a run to Lindsay and back the next day. We spent the night at the Kirkfield lift lock on the wall. The next day we headed back to Orillia, and anchored at Big Chief Island. There were probably 70 or more boats anchored for the night in the bay. We then carried on past Big Chute that day, and got stranded below the marine railway as it broke down. We got under way the next morning, and I saw the Bugaboo at the Big Chute Marina while I was getting gas. I said good morning to you Paul, and that I enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work. I get lots of knowledge about the Trent from you. Cheers to you and Anchor girl.
Great video work, As soon as my girlfriend retires, were going to spend most of our time doing short cruises. Can't wait. You're video just adds to the enjoyment ahead of us. Safe travels Captain...
Thanks, but may I suggest you do long cruises, instead of short ones ;-)
Cheers, Paul.
Awesome video and editing! Watching videos like this get me thru the long Ohio winters until JETLAG launches in Lake Erie.
Thanks! The only thing I love doing more than #boating, is putting together these videos to share the awesome areas we are fortunate enough to cruise through :-) I hope you'll get a chance to watch the entire 24 episode 'Epic 2018 Boat Cruise' series (ua-cam.com/play/PLKhjT5kr2l2G9YFc4WkBlJ9CzwSGp92Pf.html). We are looking forward to taking #Boogaboo up to and through Georgian Bay this coming season and sharing lots more from that area, so stay tuned :-)
Cheers, Paul.
It's great to see you guys enjoying the boat! Often times it seems like all we do is take care of and fix them lol!
You got that right! And yes, we are certainly enjoying the #boat now 🛥️ Lots more videos to come. . .
Just bought my first cruiser last week in Penetang, looking forward to my first big cruise through the Trent over the next long weekend and the week that follows. Thanks for the many informative videos! I look forward to seeing you out there!
Hi, Paul 👍🏻👊🏻 I’m glad y’all are having an awesome boating adventure, Beautiful day and scenery. I will be looking forward to seeing more boating adventures. Thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Great week !!! Cheers Danny
Thanks Danny 👍 We are having an awesome time!
Love your video, and the sound, very good Music, agree with the ride.....thanks for share....🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏😇
Thanks! Lots more coming soon 👍
Paul, I'm glad you are getting a chance to get away this year.
The remote control part was very interesting to me on that larger boat.
CHEERS !
J/C
Thanks John! Happy to be cruising again 🙂
I think going from the 400 to this vessel is a great move. It's still large enough to really enjoy long trips, but much more economical.
I agree on all points, except for the more economical part 😉
Boating looks so cool. I can't wait to get my first motorboat. Great video guys! :)
Absolutely, #boating is a wonderful lifestyle, but it also requires lots of continuing effort to keep a #cruising vessel up to snuff - just take a look at my DIY Playlist to see all the work I've put into our last couple of #boats. But it's all worth it to see some beautiful areas and create lifelong memories.
Check the link in the description to see my continuing series 'Epic 2018 Boat Cruise'. There's 14 episodes so far, with more added every Thursday. Lots of inspiring scenery :-)
Cheers, Paul.
Pretty cool to see. The company I work for James Dick did all the Dumping of the lower locks and removed a lot of that old dirt that was there. The company that did the locks did a Good job. Actually at Lock 40, I backed down into the lock floor as I was being directed I sank up to my axles with 21 tonnes of material they needed for the lock walls the sides. it was an interesting number of months working on that Lock. The operation was literally 24/7 for a while. Now I guess it is all cosmetic. But lets see what happens when the season ends soon.. Great video. My wife and I are thinking of boating..
Ya, it was a lot of work and effort put into the lock repairs, not only there, but at a number of other locations allong the Trent Severn Waterway as well. Nice to see the government's commitment to keeping the system going for another 100 years 👍
And yes, you should see it from a #boat. Many beautiful spots to visit!
Looks like a beautiful, but warm trip so far. I hope to be a "Looper" some day! That sounds awesome!! Cheers! Safe travels
Paul & Anchor Girl; Nice life !!!. Brew skies !!, I thought that was some big wind chimes LOL. When you left the dock, You Guys forgot me !! Yo Wattz Up Witt Dat ? Cool video. Cheers !!*** and God Bless. PS Thank you for the metric conversion, you rock.....
Thanks man! Lots more coming very soon...
Epic trip! Looks like you need a dedicated cooler for the Corona's - nice.
Yes, our cockpit fridge holds 24 Coronas nicely, plus a couple of coolers for Anchor Girl ⚓🤓
Another cool video Paul and Anchor Girl👍🏽 You guys really have some outstanding cruising grounds to play in. Btw, great boating tunes, what group was that playing background music? Cheers, Jeff
Nice videos again. Enjoy your holidays!
Thanks! We are 👍
Cool video i want a boat but its an inflatable boat i may use it in my lake or at my park
That's cool man..
It was a great beginning to a four week voyage! Hope you have a chance to watch the whole series; ua-cam.com/play/PLKhjT5kr2l2G9YFc4WkBlJ9CzwSGp92Pf.html
Cheers, Paul.
do you get a lot of steering wander when cruising at low speeds on the canal?
I generally keep it at around 1,100 rpm to avoid that, and keep within the 10 km speed limit.
Is that some Sharks going into the cooler?
Nice.
Fins up .
Close, they're Coronas 🍺
We ran the Welland, Oswego, and Erie Canals last year. I'm hoping to come up and run the Trent next Spring and spend the Summer in Detroit again.
I heard there are zones of restricted generator use on the Trent, is that still the case?
We've been enjoying traveling along the length of the Trent Severn Waterway for 15 years now and have never heard of the generator restricted zones you mention. I think that just might be a comment coming from a visitor who had a less than enjoyable experience somewhere.
And yes, we have and use a built in generator ourselves. Of course, one should always be mindful and considerate of thier neighbors when running a genny.
