Paddle to Admiralty Point
An Ugly start was hard on the surf ski division. Taking out Greg Inkster. Zoltan the Barbarian wielding a mean double kayak took me out and Babe Carel narrowly escaped. It was a big Ebb tide with current flowing in our favour, for the first half. We rounded Grey Rocks and cut across to Hamber.
Crossing over to Hamber Island was choppy and as we rounded Hamber Kevin Vallely took his first spill. Teachman and Simpson were trying to reel in Hunchak and Ti Gee, but were held off. Rod Hope was 5 seconds short too!
It was very choppy passing Belcarra with the current very evident in places. Surf Skiers were swimming. Greg Inkster tried to recover his lost time from the start fall but blew a rudder line and Greg Robertson "Race of Truth Champ" took the checkered flag. A great night.
Honorable mention goes to Dave Guiliani for his finish in home made kayak/inner tube. At least I think this was Dave.
