This shot came to us via Cat Ward of Toronto, although it was her friend Laurie who took it from the masthead of the Beneteau.

Now it’s your turn. Not to go up the spar but to send us your Photo of the Week.
Make it funny, beautiful, weird, or simply reflective of the boating lifestyle. How about pets aboard? Whatever they are, we will share them with all of our readers.
Here are the rules – they 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 via CYonboard@kerrwil.com and put Photo in the subject line.
