What to do with the dog

After much consideration, the dog will stay home with my daughter and her husband. It was a difficult decision but she is 10 years old and a little set in her ways. After undertaking some cruises with her last year, we discovered that sometimes it is not always possible to take her for a walk at the time she wants to take a walk or she did not like the place we took her for her walk. On one trip she waited three days. You could tell she was in pain, but was not going to do her thing just anyplace. Conclusion: we think it would be cruel to take her on such a long trip when she could be very comfortable at home

The Old Grouch


The Old Grouch is the name of our Nordic Tugs 37 - in which we intend to travel the Great Loop over the next year or so. Our date of departure will be on or around July 23rd from South Bay Cove Marina on Georgian Bay. There has been a considerable amount of planning involved in preparing for this trip which will be detailed in future blogs.
