Surfski results from the February 14 Jericho race.
1) Jean (48:59)
2) Jeff/Katja (50:14)
3) Reivers (54:32)
4) Gary (1:03:05)
Despite the nice weather there was a very poor turnout of surfskis at the race…not sure why. The course started and finished at the Jericho pier with a 10 km journey out around the red buoy off Point Grey in between. There were some small waves running into the bay and no wind which helped keep the racers from getting too cold. Jeff/Katja lead to the half way point but immediately after rounding the red buoy Jean launched himself onto the waves pulling out a comfortable lead. Apparently Reivers had a fun dice with an OC-1 on the return leg making for some fun racing. Gary found some of the waves to be a good challenge, providing some nice early season experience that will help him when the racing season gets into full swing.
The next race is Sunday February 22 at Nanaimo…Shack Attack. See the Feb. 13th post for more information.
