Taken just outside Handfield Bay, north side of Sonora Island (part of the Discovery Group). We were just returning from a full day gunkholing in the dinghy and watching black bears roll rocks on the beach looking for shore crabs

Last minute reminder: At CYOB we need your photos to sustain us over the off-season. So please shoot and send them in before the season ends. The photo of the week can be anything photographed on or near your boat, kids, pets, lunch, costumes, racing, cruising, craziness, signs – you pick it and send your photos, with a bit of a back story, to CYonboard@Kerrwil.com and put POTW in the subject line.
