January Photo Contest!

From Ty F.

"This one was taken by the previous owner of our C28 on his ‘farewell to the boat’ cruise. He sent it to me shortly before I took possession, and it is still a favorite. It was early in the season and there was nobody else out on Lake Michigan that day"

"And here’s a beautiful August day this summer anchored on Lake Erie outside the break wall during the Cleveland Air Show - with the Blue Angels flying in formation right overhead."

From Dan and Debbie H.

"The first two of the boat were taken at Beyond Hope Marina, Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho, August, 2018, of our 2018 R-27, 'Addison Skye'. The sky was smoky from forest fires."

"The Addison Skye is named after our granddaughter, who is in the third picture co-piloting on Lake Coeur d'Alene. Addy is about 14 months in the picture."

From Ed F.

"Here is our entry to the photo contest. 'Perfect Light'. It was taken from our dinghy near a rock face in Desolation Sound last October. 6:15 in the evening, the sun low on the horizon and not another soul in the park. Kim and I are accompanied by 'Suki and Bella.'"

From Bill S.

"Rafted up on the hook with some sailing friends overnight we got this shot of their dinghy as the sun dropped on Flathead Lake in Montana."

"Miss J shot with a friends drone on Flathead Lake."

"I spotted this menacing buoy while paddling around Pearl Island in Sept at the Ranger Rendezvous in Roche Harbor."

From Marcel L.

"I use my 2014 R21EC strictly for fishing and spend 'lots' of time on the water. I fish off of Victoria, BC, Canada and enjoy time on the water with family and friends."

"Me with a 40lb Halibut caught off of Pedder Bay, just North West of Victoria."

"My Daughter with a nice Chinook. She lives in Vancouver but loves coming to the island to catch her share of the fish."

"Me with a nice halibut and a few small winter springs."

"My Grandson with an 18lb Chinook"

"Heading to the fishing grounds from Pedder Bay"

"Early morning start to yet another fishing trip."

Thanks for the stuff, Brian!

Is there an online store for RT-logo'd things? Or is it all custom from Gearheart?
