Every picture tells a boating story and we need yours. Yes, we have suddenly run out of shots so get out the camera or other picture-taking device and fire up the Photo of the Week.

The idea is to capture a great boating moment or image. Rules? Yes a few casual ones! The pictures must be taken from or near a boat. They must be your shots and free from copyright. Most importantly, they must be wonderful. Send them to us along with the story behind them to CYonboard@kerrwil.com and put Photo in the subject line.
