May 23, 2019

The photo of us in our dinghy was taken from the shores of Beausoleil Island.  We were on our way to Honeymoon Bay in the north of the Island and we were attending a Great Lakes Cruising Club Rendezvous for Georgian Bay boaters. Jan is “Admiral of the Fleet” and I am “Bilge Billy.”

The Photo of the Week (POTW) features shots of all kinds of things in and around boats – lots of sunsets and beautiful scenery, interesting boats, crazy signs, pets and increasingly great personal portraits. So much so that boater profiles have become a terrific feature.

By sending your info to us at CYOnBoard@kerrwil.com; we will get to meet some interesting Canadians who love their boats. Or send along anything else you see on or from your boat.

It’s about time you became the star of Photo of the Week.

As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
