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!!

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
