The View from Campbell River...

After a frustrating couple of days with the wind building from the back and bringing the fleet down to us we had an upwind leg and managed to get a bullet. Today's leg was from Comox to Campbell River. Ian drove another great start and we accelerated past the fleet into a freshing northwester. We paced Flash over to the Sunshine coast when they tacked back - we followed them back, but then sent Karl aloft and decided to head back to east in a very high risk move to stay in pressure. The wind amazingly gave a 180 degree lift and we were able to lay Cape Mudge without tacking and without getting swept into Desolation Sound.

The results are not in yet, but we probably corrected to second - a big help from our poor performance from the last two days!

More to come...
