POTW: Almost the last best shot

Feb 23, 2023

Our Photo of the week this time comes from Connie Peters. It’s almost the last shot we have left in our POTW collection from last summer and it certainly is a good one.

Well back in the autumn, Connie wrote her photo “My husband and I sail out of Nanaimo on Don’t Look Back, our 30 foot Catalina.

On this year’s wet, chilly June trip, we were rewarded with this magnificent rainbow taken while we were visiting the Port Sidney Marina.

It’s the first “Full” rainbow I have ever seen – what a joy!!”

To be completely honest, our basket is nearing empty, so if you have a leftover photo from last season or one you caught on a trip this winter, now is the time. Send your photos to cyonboard@kerrwil.com and please put POTW in the subject line. We need you!!

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.
