Kristin Cummings, Operations Manager at Beacon Bay Marina took this shot after the skies broke loose on a Friday, a couple weeks back.

This has been a stormy autumn in some boating parts of Ontario. But some sunny philosophy is needed this year and also turns out some good photos.

Did you catch any great photos for us lately? Or this summer? As we head into the darkness of winter please share your shots of boats, boaters and anything else related. We will make your shot the Photo of the Week.

Please send them our way via CYonboard@kerrwil.com, then watch for your shot in our next edition. Send them now, we are publishing twice a month right through the winter and need your photos to keep our readers’ spirits up!
