Icon Wins In Victoria...

The run from Ucluelet to Victoria started out with light winds that steadily built as we got closer to Victoria. We (along with Flash and DragonFly) went way offshore again and took the great circle route to Cape Flattery in the fog. The whales were breaching everywhere and it was a magical time.

We managed to get to the freshening breeze first and so legged out on everyone except DragonFly who beat us to Victoria. Ended up finishing first (way ahead) in the early morning, down about 7 minutes on Dragon Fly...

If we can win first on the leg to Naniamo we could get a podium position if some of the other boats fade a little...game on!
