Oh what fun it is to cruise
In a west coast boat all day.
Well, it is official, winter is here but have no fear because we live in a paradise where the ocean doesn't freeze and cruising can be done year round. Sometimes it is just fun to come hang out on the boat when the sun is shining and then head to the pub or The Market for a hot drink. Ahh yes, that is the life.
Winter also brings some great events to us like the Carol's Afloat organized by the Maple Bay Yacht Club happening on December 4th. All are welcome to participate. So get your boats deck out and join the fun. Then there is The Shipyard Restaurant & Pub's Annual Christmas Party on December 2nd when people gather for some good food and cheer. And I just love the Sundays when the sail boats are out in the middle of the bay. That is a sight I never tire of.
Now I would like to pass along best wishes from all of us here at Maple Bay Marina to our customers and business associates for safe and festive holiday season...

Insurance Tip
Who is covered for use of my vessel?
Not every insurance company covers everybody who controls the boat. This is something you must always ask about to determine who is covered when operating the boat. Never assume there will be coverage. There are many companies that would only cover the owner. Be sure the insurance agent identifies who is covered while operating the boat, and if it doesn't be sure to ask your broker.
