2010 Halibut Bank/Popham Island Race


It's ON!

Halibut Bank (Popham Island for us slow boats) has always been one of my favourite races. It just feels like this is the one that really kicks off the season. It's probably because we roll from this race straight into Thursday Nights which results in being out on the water every few days. It's also this race itself. It edges on along the seem of the Strait and the Sound. Currents, waves and wind all do battle to create some interesting conditions.

Maybe I like because every year we seem to come make our own dock party and always have a good time. Each year we have done this race we have made our way over to Bowen Island for a impromptu dock party.

This year the WEASEL is looking to build on last year's third place finish. The boat is ready with a fresh clean bottom and her new all skipper crew we should be able to manage a top three finish. This year there will be even more competition from the other VARC Division 7 boats with 9~10 signed up to do battle.
