Thanks to everyone
by Guy Walters, July 26th, 2012
On behalf of Royal Vancouver Yacht Club and (I think it safe to say) Lahaina Yacht Club and all the volunteers in Vancouver, Victoria, Lahaina and at sea, I extend our collective thanks to the Owners and crews, families and friends who are participating in this event. All who are participating made a significant committment of time and energy to do so. The results are most heartening. Every starter made the finish line and there was a minimum of things breaking on the boats or physical injury. The dock parties were all successful and overall, everyone seems to be having a good time.
It's not over yet - we still have the awards festivities at the Jodo Mission on Saturday evening, with a last opportunity for us to share the pleasures and sense of accomplishment for what we have done. After that? Well, it's not too early to start thinking about 2014.
Mahalo,
Guy Walters
