POTW: OMG more squirrels

POTW Squirrel Appreciation Day

Jan 9, 2020

We admit it, this Photo of the Week shot was just too cute to resist even though it was blatant promotion from the Boat Show. Yes, it’s Twiggy doing what squirrels do every day in their natural habitat, water-skiing, captured by Dave Sanford.

There’s so much about Twiggy I want to know: how do they teach her (him?) to do it? Does he (she?) enjoy it? You can find out for yourself at the Boat Show.

You can also participate in the Photo of the Week by sending your own irresistibly adorable photo to CYonboard@kerrwil.com. Anything boating related. If you see another water-skiing rodent in your travels, that would be perfect or anything else boat related, on near or pertaining to boats. Keep them coming!

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.”
