Summer Sunsets— June 2025 Photo Contest

[Christian Sommer]

Summer is around the corner!

With warm days on the water coming up, we are celebrating with a forum-wide photo contest! Our theme this month is “Summer Sunsets.” There's nothing like swaying your feet in the water, idling while you watch the sunset after a long summer's day cruising. Submit your best photo of a summer sunset on the water!

To enter the contest, reply to this post with your photo, boat model, and a description about what's going on to accompany it. One photo/entry per user. The Photo Contest will be open until 8:00 AM PST on 6/23/2025. After all the submissions have been collected, factory personnel will vote on the winner.

One winner for each brand will be selected (Ranger Tugs, Cutwater, or Solara) and will win a pair of branded jackets and get their winning photo proudly displayed on he Tugnuts homepage and Fluid Motion social media accounts!

Please Note:
This thread is for contest submissions only; replies which do not submit a picture for the contest will be moderated and promptly deleted. Once voting has started, you are not allowed to edit your entry.

This is NOT an entry to this months contest. Just wanted to share. Hope that’s ok.
The photo was taken in late May so it’s not even a “Summer Sunset”. View is towards the Canadian Gulf Islands from Shallow Bay in Sucia Island. Taken from a C-28.

Well, not quite a sunset, but how about a summer sunrise to represent us early birds.

Sometimes the most unusual sunsets fully develop after the boat returns to the harbor. We have never seen a friendly upside down mushroom cloud like this before and we haven’t seen one like this since. A friend saw this cloud as a fish shape. What do you see in this cloud floating above the marina & boat launch?
