Killbear Week - August 9-17 2008

As always, we had some great sailing during Killbear and lots of socializing after the wind was done for the day. Send in your photos of the events.

Some events had so many pictures they've been given their own web page:

Cruise to the Pancakes

On Thursday, we organized a cruise out to the Pancakes. We started off on a run with a light wind behind us from the east. This died when we reached Carling Rock, and we were worried we'd be paddling back! Luckily the thermal started to build, and soon we were beating our way to the Pancakes in a nice westerly breeze.

After we'd finished our picnic, and started heading home, the wind and waves had really picked up. We abandoned our attempt to return through the Canoe Channel, and just ran back to Harold Point.
