Here is mine and my buddy's boats in our little creek that runs off of Lake Ontario. We call it the "Millhaven Creek Yacht Club". I don't keep my boat in here full time, it usually gets put in Thursday night and pulled out on Sunday except in the dead of summer when I leave it in so we can go on cruises, swims and have our supper on the water where it's cooler and more relaxing.

Image

There is a water fall upstream and the creek is nice and deep even when the water levels are low.

Image

The creek is sheltered from the main lake by Amherst Island and it's very private because you have to pass under a bridge and it gets pretty narrow there with hidden submerged stuff . Not too many people will venture up our little hideway!

Let's see pictures of your boats whether at rest in their slip or your favorite cove... It's always nice to see boats in their "true habitat"

Excelllent shots Jeff! 8) That is exactly what I'm talking about, the boat looks alot prettier sitting on the water than on a trailer! Pretty secluded where you are there! A nice place to just kick back and relax.

Wow, that first pic of Jeff's looks like a marketing brochure pic. Awesome. You should sell that to FW for them to use in their next catalog. :idea:

Our summer house is right on the one of the narrowest section of St Lawrence Seaway. (fresh water river)
Image


This is the place my boat spend summer months. Some day I want to rebuild our boat house so we can put our boat with bimini up (and future tower?) For now the lift would do a trick for us. We have installed a canopy and hopeing to keep bird droppings off the boat…….
