Swiftsure

An event is always better when you know someone in it. In the cast of Swiftsure, my brother is sailing on Mad Max, a well-known Vancouver-based vessel. I must admit it was exciting to see the boats off from the marina and then see them again offshore. Almost made me want to be on one... almost.

Here are a few of my favourite photos from the morning:

Looking for Mad Max (uh, binoculars would help):

According to the Race Tracker, Mad Max is estimated to finish today around 10:55 am.
