POTW: Katherine’s Early Escape

Welcome to Bitter End

Dec 19, 2024

Our savvy contributor Katherine Stone prefers to beat the crowds in the BVIs and whisked down to a charter boat earlier this month. With the already-blizzarding conditions in central Canada, you’ll likely run into all your boat friends at the Soggy Dollar, Bitter End etc this winter.  Send us a postcard…oops, no send us an email.

Email is the way to get your photos into Photo of the Week. Anything on, near or concerning a boat is eligible. Send your POTW to onboard@kerrwil.com and please put Photo of the Week in the subject line
