Ditchburn, Johnson, Duke, Minett-Sheilds, Greavette are all names of Muskoka boat builders. Some of them go back to the 1800’s. Greavette was making wooden boats in the 1970’s. Wooden boats are something Muskoka is known for, even today.
This Saturday, at Gravenhurst wharf, the Annual Antique boat show is underway. If you’ve never been, it’s an amazing experience to see so many fine watercraft all in one place at the same time. Admission is free.
Summer is truly arrived. Water’s even warm enough to stay in for a while! Blueberries are about 10 days away and strawberries are just starting. Cottages, too, are blooming. A bumper crop came to market last week. Take a look!
