Photo of the week: “It never gets old”

Splashdown It Never Gets Old

 

May 10, 2018

In honour of Launch Day, our POTW this time comes from Wendy Loat in Port Credit. This shot, taken last week, celebrates the more that five decades of the hitting the water in the spring ritual for her 60s plywood Thunderbird, Looney Tunes. “It never gets old,” says Wendy.

Got a great shot? Send it in and you could have the Photo of the Week.

The rules are simple. It has to be your shot taken in and around boats or from a boat. Or anything else boat related. Or anything you feel is appropriate – sunsets, regattas dock parties – whatever you’ve found interesting.

Send your photos to cyonboard@kerrwil.com with POTW in the subject and we’ll get them in in the next issues! Thanks in advance.
