POTW: Photo tributes to T.O.

POTW June 24th

June 24, 2021

POTW June 24thThings have opened up in Ontario as evidenced by some great shots of Toronto POTW has been receiving!

The first is from Mississauga’s Carol Trupke who headed from Port Credit YC for a season opening cruise:

“Good morning this photo is of our 38′ Hunter sailboat, Kolibri, taken last weekend at the wall at Hanlan’s in the Toronto Islands. The mooring wall is operated by Toronto Island Marina on behalf of the City, and they have their own presence on Facebook.

“It’s an incredibly beautiful sight at night when the city is all lit up.

There is a fee to moor at the wall at Hanlan’s but the ability to walk or cycle the islands or ply the waters with a dingy or SUP/kayak and enjoy the incredible surroundings are more than worth it!”

Clearly heading to Toronto Island last weekend was on many minds; here are some beauties from Bill Andrew of Port Whitby Marina, east of Toronto.

Spotted! Canadian Boating in Antigua & Barbuda

By Mathew Channer

I wore my Canadian Boating cap everywhere I went in Antigua, for the sun, not for the shout-outs. But I sure received a lot of them.

Antigua Sailing Week is an international regatta that draws sailors of every level and spectators from all over the world. Yet I couldn’t walk across a room without being hailed by a Canadian who was as excited to see my cap as they were to see the racing. I met many who were on their 3rd, 4th and 5th visit.
