The interminable search for ice. Cooking on a slant. Not everything about cruising is pure fun, but that's what makes it such a rewarding pursuit. The winning photo in CW's July photo contest recasts one of the cruising life's more prosaic tasks-- doing laundry-- in a surprisingly poetic way. In toastmaster's masterpiece, "What They Don't Tell You About Cruising," T-shirts, towels, and undergarments hang on the lifelines and genoa sheets of the catamaran Don Quixote, fluttering in the breeze like Tibetan prayer flags. It almost makes laundry day look romantic.

Congratulations, toastmaster, and thanks to everyone who contributed photos!

The judging panel included CW associate editor Kitty Martin, online business analyst Lisa Julius, and office manager Kathy Gregory
