POTW: Great timing!

New Neptunus

July 9, 2020

Canadian Yachting Editor, Andy Adams, had the camera handy in St. Catharines, Ontario the other day as Neptunus Yachts’ latest new yacht, a 65 Flybridge, arrived at the marina yard in preparation for launch. The lucky new owners will be taking the yacht to Georgian Bay.

This has turned into a busy year for boats coming and going and for the photos to go with all that action. Of course, the Photo of the Week doesn’t have to be boat arrivals – just anything interesting to go with boats.

It comes as no surprise that we have received a number of photos of boaters in masks – if you have a great one, please send it along to cyonboard@kerwil.com and put POTW masks in the subject line. If we get enough, perhaps we can do a POTW special edition for our July 23 issue. You could be our Photo of the Week!

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
