What do you learn when you sail around the world on your own?

Tuesday, June 30, 2015

The first race of the year had a great turn out with 9 boats starting the race. The forecast for the day was wind out of the Northeast starting off light and dropping off to very light around noon. The decision was made to cut the Copper Island mark and shorten the course to 15 miles.

It was a downwind start with spinnakers flying over the start line. Lode Star and Borderline initially pulled away from the fleet and had a good lead around the North side of Scotty’s. Grand Cru established a 3^rd place position early on and was in pursuit of the leading boats closing the gap consistently. By the time the lead boats reached Slate and Gaherty, Borderline had managed to inch past Lode Star. At this point the spinnakers were dropped for the first time in the race and the fleet began a slow upwind. The wind had dropped to very light, but at least a knot of breeze was present at all times. The boats tacked up to Whiskey and by this point Gran Cru had caught up to Borderline and Lode Star. The wind then filled in from the Southwest and the fleet tacked up past Shannons and on to Birch. Grand Cru in the lead now, the boats have one more spinnaker run past Net Nokwa and the Hump. Lode Star puts pressure on Borderline but is unable to pass before the finish.

Final results:

Grand Cru

Borderline

Lode Star

Kitchen Party

Intrepid

Ram Bunk Shus (DNF)

Blondie (DNF)

Passing of Long Time NYC Member Ted Flood

Edward Donald (Ted) Flood passed away at his home on Tuesday, May 12, 2015 at the age of 65 years. Ted is survived by his wife, Hazel Flood; his son, Neil Flood (wife Carolyn; sons, Reese, Aidan, and Evan); his daughter, Lee Gauthier (husband, Ian and daughter, Paige); his brother, Jim Flood; his sister, Mona Deschamps; his stepsons, David and Steven DiStefano; and his stepdaughter, Tina-Marie Yenna (husband, Chris and son, Colston). Ted was born in Moose Jaw, SK but grew up and lived most of this life in Winnipeg, MB where he was a proud graduate of St. Paul’s High School (class of 1969). He spent the past ten years living in the Calgary area. No matter where he lived or travelled, he was always most at home at the helm of a sailboat surrounded by friends and family, usually on his beloved Lake of the Woods. He will be missed by close friends and family in all these places.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ted’s memory to the Canadian Cancer Society, AB & NWT Division, #200, 325 Manning Road NE, Calgary, AB, T2E 2P5.
