Swiftsure Yacht Race May 23

Our Skipper 'Rush' on the 9.15am 'Prince of Whales' Zodiac took us out east toward Clover Point where the many sail boats that were participating in the annual Swiftsure Race were milling around before the Navy Cannon fired the start of the Race at 10. 05 am. It was an extraordinary sight with so many beautiful boats partially under sail. The conditions on the water were excellent, with light winds to fill those sails. All our guests on board were delighted with our skipper's skill at navigating the Zodiac so we could take in the best views.Two of our guests had husbands participating in the race. We also had special guests, parents of one of our own, Prince of Whale's Naturalist, 'Liz '. A beautiful morning for the start of the race, just outside of Victoria harbour.
