The Vancouver Boat Show was a thing this year, and the Seattle Show was also accessible, so we were keen on hitting up both of them..... just because we could! Schedule wise, it looked like we'd be doing back-to-backs, with the VBS one day and the Seattle one the next. We ended up only doing the Vancouver event because we tapped out the credit card for a deal on an AIS unit. That project will quickly get wrapped up as I'm waiting for an ordered switch to come in to finish the install with. In the interim, I approached repairs to our furler with optimism, but reality led us to replacement. We didn't plan on blowing all the boat bucks this early in the season, but that's how it goes sometimes. I'll find out more tomorrow when I return her back to PR from Steveston where Steve White Rigging has completed the job. It's been the typical juggling of time, weather, and tides to get this completed. I was looking forward to trying things out with a race on Saturday, but it now looks like that won't happen until March :^(
I have to say that it's been great having Volti back on this side. She's enjoying getting out a lot more, and we're happy to go along for the ride. Fall Series racing wrapped up the beginning of December. While we were fortunate to top the Series, I'd have to say it was more about showing up consistently, than it was the strategical mind of the Skipper. We're now into February, and even though I'm usually chomping at the bit -with the time off until February to begin the Winter Series- this year the first two races have already been called due to cold temps.
