PLEASURE BOATING ON LAKE WINNIPEG


Living on board is a real pleasure.  Weather permitting, we take the boat out of the harbour for a “No Destination Cruise”and just bob around out there (if we don't anchor, for safety sake, we always trail a rope when off of the boat), Wear a life jacket and you don't even have to put the effort in, to swim.
 
We usually have lunch, or some snacks and drinks, swim some more, then head back to port. And if it’s exceptionally nice or hot we will sometimes stay out and Bar-B-Q dinner as well.   Dan calls that taking me out for Dinner.


 
 
Then there are the “Destination Cruises”. Pick a sight you would like to see. (like the North East tip of Elk Island)  Cruise there and back on a day Cruise.  Very relaxing.







Or, we can pick a port and cruise there for a day, a week, or more. As seen here at Gull Harbour.

It’s just like camping, you pay for your docking, just like you do at a campground.

 


There are many of these destinations available to us.  Silver Harbour, Hnausa Harbour, Gull Harbour, Hecla Village, Wells Harbour, Biscuit Harbour, Princess Harbour, etc. etc. etc. The list is endless. 



WE HAVEN'T VISITED THEM ALL, BUT WE ARE WORKING ON THE LIST
