POTW: Here comes Winter

Winter Is Coming

Jan 7, 2025

Final Check of the Cottage with Brother Duncan Before the Ice Comes In.

This frosty image was taken on Gloucester Pool on the Trent Severn system, by Robert Bruce at the helm in this shot undaunted by the weather.

“We have had a lot of snow squalls blowing off Georgian Bay. This was the second dumping of snow. The first snowfall about a week ago left about 3 1/2 feet. Then we had a few warm days and then just on Friday another squall left another 3 feet fell upon us.

We went over to check the island and clear any snow off the roofs of the cottage in fear of them collapsing. There had also been multiple power outages and trees across the lines on the island. After the last power outage, we decided to go over one last time to make sure that they had indeed restored the power. Everything seemed in order and now we are ready for when the lake freezes over to get on the snowmobiles.”

It’s always the right weather for your Photo of the Week. Balmy summer shots from the season, are always welcome so you don’t need to brave the blizzards, as Robert did.  Please send your shots along to onboard@kerrwil.com and please put POTW in the subject line.

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.
