We were torn this week. So many photos came rolling in now that everyone is on their boat. It was tough to ignore this beauty from the RCYC Paddlethon, but it got into our issue here. 

Out of fierce loyalty to our PORTS guides, we are selecting this shot from team member Sarah, not only because its promotional but also because we thought it was a pretty good illustration of how the guide relates to reality. Well set up by Sarah, this is our photo of the week!! Sarah wins, well, nothing but a pat on the back for a job well done.

…you understand now why you came this way.
