Where are you at in your PNW cruise... We should be around James Bay Prevost Island tomorrow morning.

Not sure if we'll cross the strait tonight depending when we launch this afternoon.

Sorry Willy I missed your post. I don't remember Prevost on our trip. Did see and meet a skipper of a tricked out X at Roche Harbor, who said he was meeting up with other Mac sailors the next day. I sailed on another X named NoMondays but only power-sailed Fast Sunday my X. This was a great trip for us, in spite of not sailing much, the scenery and the great harbors along with the group (9 boats) was fun.

I want to get Windancer back into a race, but the Admiral is pushing for some upgrades and it's like having a stage manager organizing my schedule.

Windchime mentioned seeing you in Roche then claimed his docklines were tangled and he never made it to the Rendezvous at Thetis Island. There were 16 Macs there. Someone on MYCBC reported seeing your flotilla in the San Juans and Darry from Windchime confirmed it was on your homeward leg. There were a lot of Macs cruising around I'm glad we were one of them that weekend, beautiful weather, co-operative tides, and great breezes.
