THE WANDA III IS A BOAT OF IMMENSE SIGNIFICANCE
The once-proud vessel is now indefinitely moored alongside Muskoka Boat and Heritage Centre, the open water she longs to race through tantalizingly close and yet oh-so-far away. No longer quite shipshape, the Wanda III hides under a protective tarp. The plastic is for her own good, keeping the elements from damaging her wooden hull, but surely the elegant boat must feel aching embarrassment that in this year – her 100th anniversary – she should be hidden from view instead of gracefully parading across the lakes.
