COOPER BOATING news ~ latest information about boating in BC
a report from ALLEN as he met up with the flotilla yesterday:
"I arrived by ferry at Powell River around noon and found Intrepid IV without any problems. I met Syd and we sent the afternoon going over the boat, making sure we are ready for the flotilla. Syd had provisioned previously, following the list of suggested items. I don't think we'll starve.
We also met the other crews out on the docks and they seem like quite a varied and convivial lot. Everyone is in a good mood and the occasional drizzle that we experienced on and off all afternoon did not dampen spirits in the least.  At 1800, we all met on Corus for appies and happy hour. The plan for tomorrow is simple: All boats leave when they like, go where they like and we all meet at Rebecca Spit at around 1700 hours or whenever we get there and have a barbecue on shore.
The meeting lasted several hours, but most had left by 1900 to rest up for tomorrow. I only thought to take pictures at the last moment.
Tomorrow, Rebecca Split. Â
Winds are predicted to be from the northwest -- one the nose all the way"
ALLEN is an owner in the fleet out of SIDNEY, currently cruising with a client named SYDNEY who has taken a recent step up from 'student' to 'boat owner'
I post this as we cruise past COMOX on our way to CAMPBELL RIVER having left SIDNEY yesterday afternoon
ELECTRA will join the flotllla later today - connecting with the DREAMSPEAKER CRUISING TEAM who literally 'wrote the book' on this region ~
