POTW: A Mahone Bay Fleet

Jan 23, 2025

Our Photo of the Week (POTW) comes from DJ Johnny Five (otherwise known as Johnny Vandusen) who sent along this stunning maritime shot.

“I took this photo with an iPhone 6 back in 2016! I still can’t believe that old iPhone took such a nice photo! My friend’s parents own a house on Big Tankook Island, (near Halifax) my wife and I went out to see them and I took this photo from the ferry as it was about to land.”

It really is a very nice photo, Johnny.

Got a photo we need to see?  Send it along to OnBoard@kerrwil.com and please note POTW in the subject line.  We’ll have yours in an upcoming issue.

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.”
