Release your inner boating Shakespeare

Shakespeare

Apr 9, 2020

The story is that the Bard wrote his best work while quarantined. Well, this is your chance to shine.

It’s likely no surprise that with boats sitting un-launched, social events on hold and regattas all postponed, the editorial team at CYOB is eager for fresh content. That’s where YOU come in. Tell us how you and your boating friends are remaining patient without going far from home. This is a great idea for us to receive news from all over the country and share it with our (sadly) captive audience.

It could be a quick video like this striking demo prepared by our team member Jill who has parked her family boat for the duration. Her skill is evident.

So bring it on! Could be a video like Jill’s or a written piece about how you are chilling and looking out the window. It could be your kids’ drawings; in fact a CYOB kid project would be a great time wasting project for frantic parents!! Or how about that poem you’ve been storing up for a crazy occasion. This certainly fits that description.

Fire away. Our address is cyob@kerrwil.com and we will be excited to read, see and share your inspiration. Be the boating creative genius you know you are.

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.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
