How my summer went
Summer started late this year. The weather was strange, and the trips I'd planned kept sliding. Then on the way to Barrie for the Canada Day fireworks we hit a squall: twenty minutes of white-knuckle terror. We made it through, but I was a little gun-shy afterward.
I built My Friend's Boat because planning a boat day shouldn't take thirty texts and a prayer, and I use it for my own trips. I still only made it out a few times this season. Here are three of them, with the real trip pages your guests would see.

Generator Repair Maybe
Heading to Lefroy Harbour to get the generator looked at. Three friends came along. They opened the trip page for the time and the meeting spot, then told me they were in by text, so the page shows just me, "1 in". The page did its job of getting everyone to the right slip at the right time. What it didn't give them yet was a reason to respond there, and that's something I want to fix. The generator got repaired, and it proved useful for the rest of the season.

Canada Day Fireworks Cruise
Find a nice place to anchor, swim, barbecue, watch the fireworks. The pickup spot, the anchorage and the plan to leave by 1pm were all on the trip page, and guests RSVP'd and asked questions right there. We got caught in a squall on the way, but we didn't let that spoil our evening. It turned out to be a memory none of us will forget. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the boat did suffer some damage. I've been dealing with the insurance company, and repairs are scheduled for the spring.

Shake Your Bouy
The event I looked forward to all summer: a weekend at the sandbar, with the whole route and plan laid out on the trip page, and RSVPs and comments from the crew. The weather moved the date twice, and each time I had to tell people outside the app. That's the other gap I want to close.

One app. More days on the water.
Plan your next trip
Pick a date, invite your crew, and let guests RSVP. Island meetups, dock-and-dine runs, weekend getaways — one place for all of it.
Everyone's in the loop
Your friends and family see upcoming trips, RSVP, and know exactly where and when to show up. No more "wait, what time?" texts.
Built for boat owners
You're the one making it happen. My Friend's Boat handles the coordination — RSVPs, headcounts, trip details — so you can spend less time organizing and more time at the helm.
What I'm working on this winter
This summer showed me two things: guests need a reason to respond in the app, and they shouldn't have to keep checking for date changes. Both point to notifications, which is what I'm thinking about over the winter.
Get ready for next season
Winter is when boat owners have time. Set up your account now: it takes about 60 seconds to get from signup to a shareable link. Pick a few dates, add your marina, and have the link ready to send in the spring.
