Here's the correct link for the new grid.  The link on the Race Schedule page isn't loading correctly.

Bummer.... We were looking to give the Navy a scare in the first race, Oh well.  Now its Kai that is shakin' in their boots  Razz

HOWEVER

 Mad If they are gonna muck with the race grid this late in the game its pretty important that they recognize that out of town teams have planned around the info they are given, and its not easy for them to change those plans. Knowing that we had an early race, some of our members booked hotels rather than drive from Nanaimo in the early AM. Now it will be too late to cancel those bookings without being out of pocket.

I know that they were very relunctant in making the changes because some people would have made the necessary travel adjustments, but at the end of the day, the adjustments were necessary to make the grid equitable....

I don't disagree with your comments about your accomodations...

Victoria has done a good job to mitigate any downstream issues on Sunday by making the necessary fixes upfront.

 Happy racing everyone.....let's see if we can try to side swipe the COHO this year...

Never give a match up halfway through. Never say that you do not feel up to it, that your condition is bad, and throw in the towel. Fight to the very end, always looking for your chance to break through.

     Yup that was pretty much the top GD team with one or two exceptions I think. (not positive on it but it looked like their A team) It was a very close final with the GD's coming on very strong at the end against a Kai team that was loaded with some of the top False Creek paddlers. (I believe they had 8 of them this year!!) Overall it was a good weekend of racing with alot of really close finishes. I believe in one semi the top 4 boats were separated by about 1/2 second. The weather cleared up for the finals and a good crowd was on hand to cheer everyone on. Biggest complaint of the weekend: The line up to get into the beer gardens. Some of the top teams never did get in as the line up was just too long by the time they were done racing. I know its a liquor license issue but it has never been a problem until this year.

Yeah the beer garden thing did suck, but apparently there is a new (and somewhat officious) sheriff in town. It was a shame that the top teams had to wait to get in (if they got in at all).

One thing I noticed that seemed kind of goofy is that the presentations went from top to bottom...Whats the scoop with that?

I did come to a conclusion over the weekend however...When it comes to boats, the geminis look pretty good when compared to the #$%! COHO  Smile

That really sucked about the beer garden! Some of my team didn't get in because of the 350 max capacity.  Sad Oh well, other then that and the bit of rain in the morning, it was an all round great weekend. Victoria has always been one of my favorite festivals, and will continue to be.

Good job to everyone that went and we'll see you next year!
