Can anyone resist a brown eyed furry guy in foul weather gear on the side deck? Absolutely not. This great shot came from LOWISA, the big fun event in north-western Ontario.

Top that if you can. Mind you the POTW Photo of the week doesn’t need to be a pup or even a cat! Anything on or near a boat will do the trick – kids, signs sunsets – whatever makes your phone or Nikon click is what we’re after. Send your shots to cyonboard@kerrwil.com and put POTW in the subject line. Then check back next edition!

Spotted! Canadian Boating in Antigua & Barbuda

By Mathew Channer

I wore my Canadian Boating cap everywhere I went in Antigua, for the sun, not for the shout-outs. But I sure received a lot of them.

Antigua Sailing Week is an international regatta that draws sailors of every level and spectators from all over the world.
