POTW: Great timing!

New Neptunus

July 9, 2020

Canadian Yachting Editor, Andy Adams, had the camera handy in St. Catharines, Ontario the other day as Neptunus Yachts’ latest new yacht, a 65 Flybridge, arrived at the marina yard in preparation for launch. The lucky new owners will be taking the yacht to Georgian Bay.

This has turned into a busy year for boats coming and going and for the photos to go with all that action. Of course, the Photo of the Week doesn’t have to be boat arrivals – just anything interesting to go with boats.

It comes as no surprise that we have received a number of photos of boaters in masks – if you have a great one, please send it along to cyonboard@kerwil.com and put POTW masks in the subject line. If we get enough, perhaps we can do a POTW special edition for our July 23 issue. You could be our Photo of the Week!

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
