She added that most boat owners have a marine radio on board, and that the licence to use it involves a two-evening course. Trained radio operators know when, and how, to use the emergency channel. ...
... Ms. Drummond, who runs boating.ncf.ca, said she was "surprised that with two sides having people responsible with saving lives, there's not more co-ordination through a regional committee." ...

"One of the oldest, largest boating information sites in Canada!" No kidding! Everything, and I mean everything, you need or want to know about boating can be found on this site. From cruising the 1000 Islands, to sea-sickness and Zebra Mussels, you'll find it on Pat Drummond's excellent reference site.
Thousand Islands Association:
The newsletter editor wrote a nice note:
(their 1200 members pay for shoal markers in the Thousand Islands)
"I surf the web each issue to give members as many web sites as I can with useful
information. Your page is terrific and I thought you may like to know I am featuring
it this month (Spring 2000)... Please keep up the good work. I and many others
appreciate it." ...Susie Smith

Subject: Announce - Ottawa Webgrrls' August Events
Date: 9 Aug 1999
Hi Grrls,
Featured on our August Events Page is our very own Webgrrl Pat Drummond on the topic of Boating Safety.
Pat's Web Site was selected to be in the July/August edition of Sympatico NetLife's Virtual Ontario on Summer Surfing.
A biography on how Pat started web designing, plus a link to her boating
website is the hilight of our August Events Page.

I felt that this topic is relevant to both summer fun, and will serve as an
inspiration to women starting out in the field of web design.
Kudos Pat,
- Shari (Ottawa Webgrrl's Web Manager)
September/99 issue of The Fishing News
Jeff Goddard's review in a national fishing paper available in tackle shops.
Tons of info here on anything remotely boat related. Pat has really
worked on her site over the years. It shows. Everything you could
possibly want to know about boating in Canada is included. There's
information on regulations, safety and just plain fun. And, if Pat
doesn't cover it, she provides links to someone who does. Another 5 out
of 5 URL.
