Through his work with the Canadian and U.S. Coast Guards, Dr. Mike McKay is familiar with naval customs aboard vessles within large bodies of water. Recently, however, he got the opportunity to sail aboard the HMCS Windsor, a naval submarine, in Halifax. The sail was co-ordinated by the Naval Base HMCS Hunter, located in Sandwich town, in Windsor. The mission helped to strengthen ties between the University of Windsor and the Royal Canadian Navy.
