Sailing the 1000 Island in Canada, in the Fall, It's BRISK! Sailing to Hay Island and Sugar Island.
Cruising Off Duty
Welcome to Cruising Off Duty. We are Craig and Janice. We love travelling and we love sailing, so we figure the best way to see the world is by sailboat. We presently have a 35' Beneteau Oceanis sloop that we sail out of Kingston, Ontario Canada, which is on Lake Ontario. We have a longer term plan, when we retire in a few years, to sell everything and buy a 40-50' Catamaran and circumnavigate the globe. Craig loves photography along with land based and drone videography and plans to document everything along our travels to share with the world through Youtube and other social media. For now, follow our channel as we show you the beauty of the Great Lakes and the 1000 Islands area of the St Lawrence River. You will also see the steps we take as start narrowing down the Catamaran we think will suit us best as we move closer to our goal of living full time on a sailboat and exploring the world. It should be a journey worth watching.

In this episode, we were nearing the end of the 2018 sailing season here in the 1000 Islands. Sailing in the fall is beautiful but at times (and especially at night) it can be Brisk. Even though it was super chilly at times, Janice still goes swimming! I know, she is CRAZY or she has polar bear blood running through her veins. Check out this episode filled with beautiful views including 2 separate drone flights of the area around where we anchored at Hay Island and Sugar Island.
