POTW: Paddleboard in Polynesia

POTW

Dec 19, 2019

Reader Lorraine Gentleman took some liberty with our request for Photo of the Week shots from the summer. Here’s hers “It’s always summer in French Polynesia – we’ve been cruising the past 3 years and enjoying being in Tahiti and Moorea. Here’s my first nervous attempt on a paddle board that we brought back from Ontario in July and finally used in October.”

To paraphrase Jimmy Buffet…It’s always summer somewhere, so we guess this qualifies!

So let’s expand our Photo of the Week request to include shots from anywhere you’re cruising. So many boaters head to distant waters when the weather in Canada won’t cooperate, so we’d love to see your shots.

It’s easy – just shoot them to cyonboard@kerrwil.com and put “POTW” in the subject line. Happy summering, whatever the season.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
