POTW: Some holiday shots from our team

Jill

July 12, 2019

Just as you were, the people who labour in the trenches at CY were out on the water with their families over the Canada Day weekend too. And they took some photos that we are sharing for our Photos of the Week.

Jill caught this shot of her son Nolan in a celebratory Canada Day leap.

Elissa also caught her son Sidney with their friend’s water-loving dog Carling enjoying the holiday weekend off the dock.

Lovely stuff. Thanks, Jill and Elissa!

The POTW photo of the week can be anything photographed on or near your boat, boat shows, kids, pets, lunch, costumes, signs – you pick it and send your photos, with a bit of a back story, to CYonboard@Kerrwil.com;and put POTW in the subject line. Take the shots and send them now while the summer sun shines.

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

By Andy Adams

There is no shortage of fun and exciting new boat designs hitting the market, but for the last few years these have been mainly outboard-powered day boats. 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.

…you understand now why you came this way.
