Missing are #3 from 1991, and #8 & #9 from 1992.

July 1st Sail Past - Thanks

Thanks to all those who joined in on the Canada Day Sail Past. It was a rather chipper and bumpy trip but nice to see 8 or 9 boats out. Kudos to the one boat that actually did the full sail around with us. Thanks to all you patriotic neighbours on the east and west side that ran out to salute us as we cruised by. Your cheers are what make the Sail Past such a fun and meaningful event!

Looking forward to seeing many more boats joining the convoy next July 1st.
