VI Day-1

VI Day -1

Myrrh and crew are here in Nanaimo. Skipper, Mikey and Dave brought the
boat up from PA, having motored all the way in next to nothing wind. But
the current gods were in our favor for almost the whole way. We
overnighted on a government dock on the northern end of Gabriola Island
– a pretty little spot with a great price!

The landyacht ably driven by Mile Clemens, delivered the remaining crew
sans Leon, who was delayed by business and had to take the ferry and bus.

So here we are, busy putting Myrrh on a crash diet of and wondering what
the first race will bring. The weather today is warm with a little
breeze. Buzz on the dock is that there will be 15+ wind tomorrow from
the South – for a great spinnaker leg.

Wish us luck!
