Connie Peters sent us this shot in the fall. It’s the perfect Photo of the Week as the seasons change.
Writes Connie, “I call this “Boat Shred”. Taken kayaking around a bay in our beautiful Gulf Islands.”
The POTW changes with the season, but that gives you a lot of latitude in your shooting. Anything boat-y qualifies. Just send your shots along to cyonboard@kerrwil.com and kindly put POTW in the subject line. Yours could be our next Photo of the Week
OK, stop the presses. This photo just came in from Beacon Bay. Clearly those folks know how to get into POTW!! Again!
Our Video of the Week comes from a time of lockdown from D. Danger, our own man of adventure. Setting off for Spain, he ended up unable to continue and sends this report about facing hardship in a foreign land.
Jan 11, 2024 Our Photo of the week starts the new year with the most triumphant sunset of the last. Our frequent contributor Roger Renaud caught this shot on the Detroit River. Irresistible! “I wonder if it’s the current tilt of the earth, being fall, that brings all the bright orange colours.” As 2024 fires…
This week’s POTW comes from across the pond. Who knew we had a European audience

Last issue, Mike Wheatstone, our Boat Nerd started a conversation about solar power. While many of you were engaged with the article, one reader too the discussion a whole lot further.
Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking
Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. 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.
