Typical Alberta skiing weather!

This CY Onboard feature celebrates your photos. And they have rolled in – just two so far, but we want more, more, more.

They can be funny, beautiful, weird, or simply reflective of the boating lifestyle. Whatever they are, we will share them with all of Canada and reward you for taking them.

How will we reward you? Well, fame of course. Then, there will also be big time swag – we will root around in the CY basement and dig up some suitable rewards to share.

Here are the rules – they must be taken from or near a boat. They must be your shots and free from copyright. Most importantly, they must be wonderful. Send theto us via CYonboard@kerrwil.com and put Photo in the subject line.

Jack SmithJack Smith – This beauty comes to us from Conestoga Lake, 30 minutes west of Kitchener ON on Highway 86. Jack Smith, who submitted it clearly has a fine taste both in boats and Muskoka chairs. Pink? Woohoo!
