POTW January 25

Winter in Victoria???!!!

Great icicles! This is not what one expects from the tropical climes of BC. It’s a nice winter Photo of the Week, though.

“Took this picture of Ladysmith Marina (Vancouver Island BC) while walking the dock after a December Winter storm; ice formed on the water, snow on the boats and docks and foggy mist on the horizon.“

Valerie Odell

The POTW rules are simple. It has to be your shot, taken in and around boats or from a boat. Or anything else boat-ish. Or any great photo of docks, ports, winches, engine parts, people, and pets on boats, of course. You shoot it, we’ll include it.

Send your photos to cyonboard@kerrwil.com with POTW in the subject and we’ll get them into the publication soon! Thanks in advance.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

Sunset off St John

A perfect sunset off St. John with St. Thomas views for backdrop.

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
