Congratulations to Simon Irwin. This shot is a timely reminder of the joys and friendships shared through boating. Togetherness has its rewards as Riviera 39 Flybridge owner Simon Irwin discovered with this month’s winning image of a fun-filled raft-up with friends on the Myall Lakes in NSW during the Christmas holidays last year.
It was Simon’s first visit to the Lakes, with the raft-up inspired by a member of the group who has spent a lot of time cruising these waters over the past 30 years and who brought the grandchildren along for the Christmas getaway.
The winning shot was taken after lunch as the group began preparing for an afternoon of water activities.
“The photo was inspired by the good times the group was experiencing and I wanted to make sure I caught that moment to inspire us to further adventures on our Riv,” said Simon.
“It was our first time up the Myall Lakes – but not the last!”
