BREAKING NEWS
Dear past guests and avid readers.
Upon the strongly recommended advice of my doctor, regarding a medical condition we are forced to pause most programming with our tours and excursions for the 2024 season.
“You have the back of an 89 year old” -Dr.
Working as a PSW for 20 years and 10 years with small vessel captain work have taken their toll, to a point where the pain and disruption cannot be ignored any longer.
“Walk like an Egyptian.” -Bangles
After 7 seasons, over 500 excursions at Long Point I’ve developed a bad back. I have begun to get relief from being hunched over and in pain but I’m going to need more time to get better.
The Plan.
I will take this time to not only heal physically but also develop some new routes and activities for 2025 to be ready with our classic and new activities on the water.
To our few guests with pre paid for excursions, these will be honoured. For guests who have gift certificates your passes will be honoured in 2025 with no further costs applied for fare increases, my apologies for the unforeseen delay.
To everyone who has been a past guest aboard, children we’ve seen grow up, over multiple seasons aboard, our last boat rides, first boat rides (babies are always free aboard our vessel) wedding proposals, club functions for the aged or young to experience Long Point first hand in spring, summer, fall, thank you for booking year upon year with us and we will see you in 2025.
To our suppliers and visit stops, thank you for keeping us running, fuelled, safe and fed over 7 seasons so far.
All my best, to everyone, for a safe and fun 2024. We will see everyone in 2025.
Regards
