POTW Boat Renaming

Aug 25, 2022

Jerry “had to show support”

Last issue, we took a look at boat names. Little did we know we would get what probably will be the POTW shot of the year.

This note came in from Jaroslaw (“Jerry”) Iwanus, whose boat is in Pointe-Sapin, NB

“I know you’re not supposed to re-name a boat but, once the Russians invaded Ukraine, I had to show my support for Ukraine (including my relatives there) in any way I could.”

Enjoy!

Boat names seem to be the hot POTW topic – we received a couple more, (scheduled for next issue). Your POTW photos can be anything boat-related. Yes boat names are always fun but kids, pets, signs, sunset and other boating activities are always welcome.

Just do what our pal Jerry did and send your photo along to cyonboard@kerrwil.com and put POTW in the subject line.

As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
