POTW: Ice On Lake Ontario, January

Ice on lake Ontario

Mar 25, 2021

Here’s a dramatic photo of the Week from Jansin Ozkur

“Walking along the lake Ontario, noticed the interesting ice formations in the shape of rings and used my cellphone to capture the photo.

“The photo I sent you consists of 3 different shots. The main background was shot with my cellphone, I thought the ring shaped ice formations was very interesting and took a few shots from the shores of Lake Ontario, in Niagara-on-the-Lake. I had it in my phone for a week or so, kept looking at it, the sky was bare, though the ice was interesting it looked lifeless. I transferred it to my computer and then added the sky. It looked more dramatic with clouds and the sunset. Something was still missing, thought of putting seagulls or some other birds, but ended up superimposing a boat picture, which added some life to it.”

The next Photo of the Week is yours! Now that we are into March, let’s hope it doesn’t show ice formations but the content is up to you. To be seasonal, it could be spring prep, launch or any other boat-related content.

Followers of POTW will know that our photos vary widely, so please add to the diversity with your own personal touch.

Just send the shot to CYonboard@kerrwil.com and put POTW in the subject line. We are looking forward to a new crop of shorts to kick off the season

Jeanneau Yachts 55

Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking

Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

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.
