her replacement!
yesterday after the Market I went down to the waterfront hoping to get a couple of shots of the Chief Commanda II. I got much more, but that is for another day…today here are shots of the grand old lady’s replacement. Info regarding the Chief Commanda II can be found here… http://georgianbaycruise.com/index.php?page=home

Great shots. I wonder if it will last as long as the old one? 🙂

thanks feralc4t…the first Chief sailed for 27 years, Chief Commanda II has been sailing for 39 years, already surpassing the regal lady by 12 years. In person it looks to be in fabulous shape. These vessels were built to cruise these northern Ontario waters, Lake Nipissing is known to be calm one minute…terrible winds and waves the next…the vessel isn’t large…100 ft long and 36 ft wide…but with a twin hull, catamaran which contributes to the stability during rough waters.

It is older than I thought, no wonder it has lasted longer 😀 I think that many inland bodies of water are temperamental like that 🙂

I would love to go out on the water. Lovely sky for your background.

thanks Ron…the sky was lovely that day! The cruises offered are fabulous…I’ve never cruised on the vessel, but I’ve cruised the routes many times in my own boat in the past.
