Tired and a couple winch handles lighter, they made it! Second place on the final leg to top it all off!

Who is glued to the Van Isle 360 Tracker? Several NYC members are out off Estevan Point and Tofino in light wind and west coast swell, making their way to the Leg 7 finish in Ucluelet. The fleed slowed and compressed overnight and are waiting for the wind to fill in again. George Bishop's Expresso Racing is out there with a crew of NYC members. David McCallum is riding on Riva, and Ben Daniel may be out there on Smoke, if he managed to get away from classes at UVic for an extended weekend. Did I miss anyone?
