Port Hardy Leg Abandoned...

First about Joy - she made it out of hospital and met us in Telegraph Cove.  The start there was uneventful, but in very light winds.  We did really well and really legged out on the fleet, ending up literally hours ahead by Malcolm Island...

Unfortunately we had this "sinking feeling" that given the winds that the race would be abandoned -- eventually we heard various boats reporting that they had retired, so eventually we did so ourselves.  Had the time limit been a little longer I think we could have finished with great results...

In Port Hardy instead of staying at the summer floats we went to the QuarterDeck Marina (next to our hotel) and had a great crew dinner.
