#140 of 365

#161 It's Saturday MorningYesterday morning found us wandering down to the
the start of the 66th Annual International Yacht Race.
The navy coastal defence vessel HMCS Whitehorse with the cannon start indicates the official start of the Swiftsure (six races run over four different courses)
We had hoped to see the yachts use their colourful spinnaker sails, but it was not meant to be. Although not a fast start, it was not the "Driftsure" that we've experienced in past years either! You can see a few more pictures from yesterday on my other blog HERE
