Most of the people arrived on the 9:00 AM ferrie. Except Daryl Remmler who decided to add a 20 minute paddle to his day. Dodging the ferrie traffic he scooted over from Horshoe Bay. This race coincide with the Bowen Island Yacht race. They have a longer history and the kayak race is a recent add-on, so we had to live with their rules. Rule # 1 was that we had to start at least 30 minutes after the sail boats. Rule # 2 was we had to travel in the opposite direction. Sailors don't decide which direction they are going to race until the get out in the open and see which way the wind is blowing. Our race didn't start until 11:00 and we were going to go north. Counter clockwise. The day after the full moon promised a big tide and big currents. The weather was great and I believe everybody got a little more than they bargained for. For those who had been paddling the 30 - 60 minute Deep Cove races this was a big increase in time. (Speaking from personal experience) Lots of people were hurting. One of the most difficult tasks was to climb out of your boat and onto the dock at the race end. BBQ and Brewskis went a long way to cure the feeling of exhaustion. A Big Thanks to Martin, Owner of Bowen Island Sea Kayaking for putting on a great race. |
