Chinook finishing
True Love
S/V Fortuna finished
Salient finishes
Christof Marti's Salient, one of our Canadian entries, persisted in light winds and difficult tides to finish well. It is always a shared frustration to watch a competitor be so near in distance yet so far in time from the finish but Salient persisted. This is the second year for Christof and his crew and we hope he will join us for many more Offshores.
Chinook, Fortuna and True Love

At 11:38 PM, Rage reported passing Race Rocks, She is doing 11.9 SOG on an Easterly heading. The finish crew has headed down to welcome her to Victoria!
Rage is coming on strong
Rage is approximately 19 miles from Ogden point and heading ESE at 10 knots. Finish crew thinks the mighty Rage will be at Ogden Point around 1 am Saturday morning.
Souffle is heading North
Our favorite cruiser, Phil Lewis on Souffle, is about 7.5 miles south of Duntze Rock, heading 010 at 5.3 knots. Phil's tracker has been inoperative for most of the race and I am sure that folks were wondering where he was. Well, through the miracle of AIS, we have him on screen, rolling North.
Good job Phil and crew!! We will be here to greet you when you come.
Good job Phil and crew!! We will be here to greet you when you come.
Hooray!!!! Half the fleet appears to have rounded the Duntz Rock buoy and are headed down the Straits of Juan de Fuca. 70% course completion Slow going but the progress is happening. Winds are looking a little better. Still beautiful here in Victoria. Getting ready to bring the boats in with hot towels and champagne. Our hospitality crew is ramping up with enthusiasm.
YAY!!!! On the tracker shows Rage has rounded the Duntz Rock buoy and is in the Straits of Juan de Fuca. Then we see Riva and Salient also around. Here they come down the straits. Still a beautiful day here in Victoria. We can see the wind filling in....there is some darker carpet showing up on the water!!!
