Barb has sent us some pictures from Florida. They star Victor and a scaly alligator (not Ben a real one)

Thanks Barb – all we have is mountains of snow!

October 21, 2007 we went on the road trip to Kiwanis Park, Juniper St – Truro, NS. A pretty little urban park where they have a nice pond laying along the prevailing winds. We raced, but no results were recorded.

We were invited to visit beautiful Annapolis Royal, NS for a demonstration event.
The weather was beautiful and we sailed for hours, below the Tidal Power Station.

Each spring the Aviation Museum in Shearwater is home to a hobby show.
We participated each year for a number of years. It was fun, but did not yield many new members. We did meet the Chaplain from the airport who sells the confiscated items that travelers cannot take on a plane.

An annual event sponsored by the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.

In 2009 we welcomed our first EC-12 into the club. The first boat was a $400 antique that required substantial repair and refit.

The 2006 Canadians were held on the site of the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario. HAMYC was represented by Gary Bugden, Bob Boutlier and Jim Goddard.

Paul Swizer of the host club was the winner with HAMYC’s Jim Goddard second and John Lowther of the Kingston club finishing third. This was the first major HAMYC road trip which is such a feature of the club today.

As you can see from the photos the weather was fabulous and the venue had some good breeze throughout.
