POTW: November 10, 2022
Our Photo of the Week this time comes from our CY Team at FLIBS. Perhaps it’s the camera angle or maybe it’s that our publisher, Jill Snider, is quite petite, but these are mighty big outboards.

HI Andrew – It’s apparent that you’ve never had a boat moored in the salt, because there, mussels and barnacles can also be a major issue in why one’s trim tabs no longer seem to work. One of the reasons ‘Canadian Yachting’ is often considered to be ‘Toronto as the centre of the universe’ yachting.

POTW: You can never go wrong with pooches!!
Yes, we are once again going to the dogs, a very popular and always welcome Photo of the Week theme. These pups come our way via James Bambrick who tells us, “We boat on the Strait of Georgia out of Comox B.C. Nuggs is black; Sam is blonde.”

POTW: Put out the Fenders
There are two POTWs this time. The reason? Guilt. We are picking up the first one from the internet – that’s a cheap source of great boat photos but, to be honest, it’s almost too easy. Still this shot is impossible to resist.
