POTW: Best time for Seals

Nov 21, 2024

This week’s POTW marks our first ever from Nunavut!  Patiq Netser of Coral Harbour on Southampton Island. 

Our Harbour finally starting to freeze up. Few boats rushed down to Fraggle Rock area for sealing. Best spot this time of year for seals.

Patiq tells us about the boat:

This Yacht is I believe from Ontario. An elder, in his late 70s purchased it with his family, trucked it to Winnipeg then by rail to Churchill, Manitoba. He then took the scheduled flight to Winnipeg as we no longer have connections to Churchill, Manitoba. Spent a couple nights in Winnipeg to catch the 1st available flight while his son hopped on the train. From Churchill they traveled through the west coast of Kivalliq region, first to Arviat then to Rankin Inlet. Waited a few nights in Rankin due to weather. She made it to her final destination Coral Harbour, the very tip of Hudson’s Bay late last month. They had engine troubles so I helped them. Turned out to be clogged fuel filters. She is a beauty.

Where’s Coral Harbour?

We get some wonderful shots for Photo of the Week and we welcome yours from wherever your boat takes you. Boats, people, pets ,funny stuff, beautiful landscapes – you choose.  Please send your photo to onboard@kerrwil.com and put POTW in the subject line.

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
