New Riviera Owner

Postby 2807AC » August 8th, 2021, 10:40 am

Hi,

Wasn't expecting to buy a cabin cruiser, ever.
We have a lake access-only off-grid cottage and our home base is on the Rideau river.
We have both grown up on one waterway or another, with small boats of varying sizes and type.

This year upgraded our cottage boat to one with a top, Princecraft Super Pro 176, and ended up buying my late brother's 1980 Silverline 16GTL Grenada (James Bond boat). We saw the Carver advertised and fell in love.

So now we are looking at where to dock for the rest of the season and will build up our home dock to accommodate "Sea La Vie". We didn't change the name based on superstition and it's not a bad name.

We look forward to learning from this online community and sharing our adventures.

Bruce + Ivy
