POTW: A Mahone Bay Fleet

Jan 23, 2025

Our Photo of the Week (POTW) comes from DJ Johnny Five (otherwise known as Johnny Vandusen) who sent along this stunning maritime shot.

“I took this photo with an iPhone 6 back in 2016! I still can’t believe that old iPhone took such a nice photo! My friend’s parents own a house on Big Tankook Island, (near Halifax) my wife and I went out to see them and I took this photo from the ferry as it was about to land.”

It really is a very nice photo, Johnny.

Got a photo we need to see?  Send it along to OnBoard@kerrwil.com and please note POTW in the subject line.  We’ll have yours in an upcoming issue.

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.
