 Nationals Regatta | Nationals Regatta - October 3, 2009 What a GREAT day! Seven beautiful Islanders on the starting line under bright blue skies. Mother Nature tried to huff and puff and blow us ashore, but she was just about 3 hours late and managed to get in two perfect races in winds ranging from 8 to about 25 knots before the evening blow came on. Thanks to pro photographer Erik Simonson we have some great water views of the leeward leg, plus plenty of pictures from the Golden Gate Race Deck, including movie clips of both starts and a too-close leeward mark rounding. Want to know who was there and who won? Follow the link to the Nationals Regatta. |
Season's Championship Wrapped Up
Pacific High won the last race of the season, with Windwalker and Tenacious astern. Captain Hooke captured the Season's Championship even though she didn't race, thanks to the thrid throwout. Windwalker held on to second, 2 points ahead of Pacific High in thrid, who was 2 points ahead of Tenaqcious in 4th. Here are the Season's Championship & Spinnaker Cup Race Standings.

Natasha's Cruise to Barkley Sound Our fine Canadian members Bert & Carey Vermeer, who started the Canadian All Islander Rendezvous, sent along this wonderful log of their month-long cruise out the Straits of Juan de Fuca to Barkley Sound on the western side of Vancouver Island. Captivating writing and over 200 pictures are a great read. Barkley Cruise. |
Canadian Cruising Guide: Our Candaian members John & Marion Rodall were down for the All Islander Rendezvous and enchanted us with tales of the beautiful cruising there is around Vancouver Island. They've sent along a "starter kit" of some of the best places and areas for cruising. Check out Canadian Cruising Guide. It's a great companion piece to Bert & Carey Vermeer's cruise log above.
