Aug 22, 2017

This time our photos come from Gimli where Katie Coleman Nicoll was on the scene. She’s an esteemed sailing judge, a fearless reporter and a fine photographer.

A legacy of the 1967 and 1999 pan am games were the buildings and pier

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.

    October 9, 2025 Our waterways are hardly full, but there still seems to sometimes be too little room.  The ‘why’ is simple – some boaters don’t appear to have the necessary respect for other boaters.  It’s a minority, mind you, but that aggravating tiny faction is getting on some people’s nerves and creating a bad…
