A slow start for Kairos from Telegraph Cove yesterday. They made up time and crossed the finish line just 6 minutes ahead of Mad Max. Mad Max took 1st st place (after times were corrected for the boats' handicaps) and Kairos took 2nd place and retained 1st place overall so far.
Some new pictures finally. Top to bottom:
Maureen, April and Marion relaxing at the fish farm (Hardwicke Island) I assume (I don't know I wasn't there, Dennis provided this picture.
The run to the fish farm and Kairos leaving most of the fleet behind.
The start at Port Hardy - the white spinnaker with blue and red stripes is Kairos.

Finally, the start from Telegraph Cove, Kairos is at the opposite end of the line and not visible in this picture.
It's now noon, time to get some lunch, explore and head to Winter Harbour to meet the boats sometime tonight (if the wind forecast is correct).
I do not expect Internet access in Winter Harbour (Pop: 20 people and 3 million black flies), so my next update will most likely be from Ucluelet in two days time (Sunday), or from an Internet cafe enroute from Winter Harbour to Ucluelet.
