As the leaves turn brilliant colours, and the crisp autumn colours and crisp air fills our lungs, Thanksgiving weekend presents one final opportunity to embrace the magic of fall boating. For many Canadian boaters, this long weekend marks the grand finale of another incredible season on the water.

Safety First for Fall Boating

As temperatures drop and conditions change, remember these essential fall boating safety tips:

• Check weather conditions frequently – fall weather can change rapidly
• Dress in layers and pack extra warm, dry clothing
• Ensure your VHF radio is working and fully charged
• File a float plan with someone reliable on shore
• Keep your C-Tow app handy – we’re here 24/7 when you need us

Gratitude for Our Amazing Boating Community

This Thanksgiving, we’re overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible C-Tow family that spans from coast to coast. Over our 41-year journey, we’ve witnessed countless acts of kindness, camaraderie, and support within the Canadian boating community.

We’re thankful for:

• Our dedicated captains who brave all conditions to keep you safe, bringing 75+ years of combined experience to every rescue
• Our loyal members – over 10,000 strong – who trust us with their peace of mind on the water

A Season of Memories

As we reflect on another boating season, we’re reminded that it’s not just about the destinations we reach, but the journey itself. Whether you’ve explored new waters, perfected your docking technique, or simply enjoyed quiet moments watching the sunset from your deck, each experience has added to your boating story.

From sunrise fishing trips to sunset cruises, from family adventures to solo escapes, from calm days to challenging conditions that tested your skills – every moment on the water has been a gift.

While Thanksgiving weekend may signal the end of the active boating season for many, it’s also time to start dreaming about next year’s adventures. As you winterize your vessel and store your gear, remember that the C-Tow family is here year-round, ready to support your boating dreams.

Consider this the perfect time to:

• Renew your C-Tow membership for uninterrupted peace of mind
