Release your inner boating Shakespeare

Shakespeare

Apr 9, 2020

The story is that the Bard wrote his best work while quarantined. Well, this is your chance to shine.

It’s likely no surprise that with boats sitting un-launched, social events on hold and regattas all postponed, the editorial team at CYOB is eager for fresh content. That’s where YOU come in. Tell us how you and your boating friends are remaining patient without going far from home. This is a great idea for us to receive news from all over the country and share it with our (sadly) captive audience.

It could be a quick video like this striking demo prepared by our team member Jill who has parked her family boat for the duration. Her skill is evident.

So bring it on! Could be a video like Jill’s or a written piece about how you are chilling and looking out the window. It could be your kids’ drawings; in fact a CYOB kid project would be a great time wasting project for frantic parents!! Or how about that poem you’ve been storing up for a crazy occasion. This certainly fits that description.

Fire away. Our address is cyob@kerrwil.com and we will be excited to read, see and share your inspiration. Be the boating creative genius you know you are.

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
