Apr 25, 2019

Photo of the Week (POTW) is an opportunity to look at the album of shots that make up a great boating experience.  Our readers, friends and anyone else are invited to share their shots.

Jeff Ante is always the first across the Lake to Wilson NY, his fave local cruising spot. He’s far from alone…Tucked into the peaceful harbour at Wilson you can feel totally isolated and enjoy being far, far away from the Big Smoke enjoying that sundown beverage. The fact is that your around 25 miles from the CN Tower.
