The Sunset of the Year

Jan 11, 2024

Our Photo of the week starts the new year with the most triumphant sunset of the last.  Our frequent contributor Roger Renaud caught this shot on the Detroit River. Irresistible!  “I wonder if it’s the current tilt of the earth, being fall, that brings all the bright orange colours.”

As 2024 fires up, it’s time to send in a new round of Photo of the Week.  We are always looking for your shots – kids, pets, scenes anything you have caught on or around your boat. Yes, we do get a lot of sunsets, but people, places and things are on the list too. Send your shots to Onboard@kerrwil.com and please put POTW in the subject line.  Thanks.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
