Spring Ahead
The April issue of Canadian Yachting magazine is right around the corner, just as we are all starting to be able to smell the spring air, the mornings and evenings are gloriously brighter and our boats are waiting patiently for their impending uncovering. Our spring issue is full of so many great articles, from exotic destinations to the skinny on exactly how to choose the correct propellor; you won't be disappointed. You can read CY magazine in digital format and in print. Subscribe here: http://subscription.canadianyachting.ca/. Don't forget to set your clocks ahead when you go to bed Saturday night! Happy Reading.
