Why We Love Sailing

Whale Strike

A friend of mine was out sailing a few miles offshore and hit a whale. The whale was pissed and came back and struck the boat 4 times. My friend thought the boat was going to sink. Terrifying! Prop shaft bent and not working so they received a tow in. $25k in damages. The whales are not finding their usual source of food and are hungry. Water is too warm. My friend should be back on the water soon after repairs. The whale is fine. I am headed to a raft up of 40 boats this weekend. The Washed Up Yacht Club is hosting their annual summer party. Bands and DJ's will be rocking the cove!

Biggest Waves in 30 Years!

R2AK Start is June 14

The Race to Alaska is next week. This is my favorite race due to the inginuity that is used to travel the 750 miles from Victoria, Canada to Ketchikan, Alsaka. Some travel by sailboat and some use other craft including but not limited to canoes, paddle boards, row boats, and more. The winner gets $10,000 and second place is a set of steak knives. The race is known for its sometimes rigorous conditions and the spirit of adventure it inspires. There are no motors allowed! A few years ago they made a full length movie about the race that can be seen only on the Youtube channel itself. Please go there for an amazing look at a very unique race thru some very impressive natural beauty.
