Abbie, Ella, Jennifer and Michael

Meet the Arthurs Family of Penetanguishene, Ontario.  Abbie, Ella, Jennifer and Michael and their pooch Bailey head out from Hindson Marina in their cuddy every chance they get.  They love the many beautiful anchorages on Southern Georgian Bay especially their favourite spot, Giants Tomb. 

The family began boating in 2010 and they are hooked.  In this photo, the Arthurs family had a fun day gunkholing at Big Sand Bay, Christian Island.

The Photo of the Week (POTW) has been running here in CYOB for some time now. It has never been twice the same – you keep coming up with photos to share. We get shots of all kinds of things in and around boats – lots of sunsets and beautiful scenery, interesting boats, crazy signs, pets. The list goes on and we love it. So please keep sending your photos in. It’s boating season any moment now and our POTW inbox is ready for your shots at CYOnBoard@kerrwil.com

Now we have a new angle – people. Would you like to be featured in our Boater Profile? Let’s get some pictures and the stories behind them – who in your family is onboard?

Where do you go? What adventures have you had? By sending your info to us at CYOnBoard@kerrwil.com ;we will get to meet some interesting Canadians who love their boats. Good idea? Absolutely!
