POTW: The Head Honcho

POTW

Dec 5, 2019

We love the great signs that crop up in the boat business. This week’s Photo of the Week is one of the best from Emily taken in a Florida marina. Certainly this is one area of boating that doesn’t get sufficiently celebrated.

Our Photo of the Week (POTW) features shots of all kinds of things in and around boats – great boat names on transoms, wacky signs, beautiful sunsets – it’s up to you! Kids and pets, of course.

The idea is to tell the story of boating adventure in pictures. YOUR pictures.

Send your photos to CYOnBoard@kerrwil.com; and tell us about it. And about you and your boat. We will get to meet some interesting readers who love their boats
It’s about time for your photo to become Photo of the Week.

They have all been exceptional yachts, but this is the one I would most want to own myself. It’s a personal choice and a matter of taste as to whether you would prefer to have a sedan express model or a flybridge but in my opinion, the flybridge layout offers some wonderful attributes.

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

By Mark Stevens

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.
