Bermuda

First from Geoffrey Frith, wintering in Bermuda

Unfortunately this is not a picture from a boat but was taken on the evening of February 27, 2019 looking out over the Great Sound in Bermuda and over the course used for the Americas Cup in 2017 but it does show the beauty of the water and why we are attracted to boating.

Nanuk at Mobion IslandThe second half of the double-header comes from Patrick at Mango Yacht Charters, based in Oakville, ON, but wintering in the Caribbean. Don’t fret, kids – spring begins next week!
