Submit Your Boating Stories

Submission Call

Apr 22, 2021

The Port Hole has been, and remains, very effective in getting the word out nationally on CPS-ECP programs and, by extension, members’ involvement in those initiatives. This is a wonderful opportunity that relatively few organizations can boast of.

For The Port Hole to fulfill its mandate to keep CPS-ECP members across Canada informed of events and activities unique to the organization as well as new trends and technologies emerging from the boating world, your submitted contributions in the form of words or images, or both, are vital.

For articles, 300 to 400 words works best. Please ensure your full name as you would like it to appear is noted as well as your CPS-ECP affiliation, such as your home squadron and, where applicable, your position.

As for images, high-resolution photographs reproduce best but don’t get too hung up on technical details. If your shot is in focus, is framed well, and not compressed, that will generally work.

Email your written submissions, in editable text format (PDFs are a challenge to edit), and/or your images, to theporthole@cps-ecp.ca

Submit articles by August 15th to be included in the October edition.

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
