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.

Nimbus 365 Coupe – A real long-stay cruising boat for exploring

By Andy Adams

Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
