POTW: Here comes Winter

Winter Is Coming

Jan 7, 2025

Final Check of the Cottage with Brother Duncan Before the Ice Comes In.

This frosty image was taken on Gloucester Pool on the Trent Severn system, by Robert Bruce at the helm in this shot undaunted by the weather.

“We have had a lot of snow squalls blowing off Georgian Bay. This was the second dumping of snow. The first snowfall about a week ago left about 3 1/2 feet. Then we had a few warm days and then just on Friday another squall left another 3 feet fell upon us.

We went over to check the island and clear any snow off the roofs of the cottage in fear of them collapsing. There had also been multiple power outages and trees across the lines on the island. After the last power outage, we decided to go over one last time to make sure that they had indeed restored the power. Everything seemed in order and now we are ready for when the lake freezes over to get on the snowmobiles.”

It’s always the right weather for your Photo of the Week. Balmy summer shots from the season, are always welcome so you don’t need to brave the blizzards, as Robert did.  Please send your shots along to onboard@kerrwil.com and please put POTW in the subject line.

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?).
