We would like to extend our best wishes to our fellow sailors racing from Victoria BC, through the Straits of Juan de Fuca, in the Swiftsure International Yacht Race. The forecast looks good, with a bit of rain initially. This year the 204 registered boats and racers won’t be seeing a “drift-sure”, fer sure. 😉
For those who are land-bound, follow along via the Race Tracker. The start begins tomorrow (Saturday, 5/28) at 9:00 a.m. Check out the Swiftsure webcams and watch for our ten Portland participating boats:
