My Watermark is Key Harbour of Georgian Bay, Ontario.
I started windsurfing in Key Harbour on Georgian Bay when I was 15 years old. I have now windsurfed on all 5 Great Lakes. On Wednesday nights I windsurf on Lake Ontario at Cherry Beach. I have also travelled to many famous windsurfing sites around the world. When I tell people that at my home spot I can windsurf and when I fall in, I can drink the water they are amazed.
Another thing I love about Key Harbour is that the pine trees on the north east shore of Georgian Bay all lean one way due to the wind - like in a Group of Seven painting. I think the motto should be: Swimmable, Drinkable, Fishable, Surfable! water.
