I guess the marina-opposers must be very worried about all those boats in the harbour today that are about to travel through the harbour airport area.
Looks like it won't be a "driftsure", but it might not be very pleasant either.

That harbour view sure would be nice if all of those @$%#$* boats weren't blocking it.

Nice photo of "Surt," Bingo. We had the chance to hang out on the deck Friday afternoon courtesy of Sparky. Wonderful boat inside and out.
A bit more of a boat than his Catalina 27, eh?

No this is not a Swiftsure story, but the vessel would have encountered similar conditions that a fully crewed racing yacht would encounter.
The other thing to note is that the Socrates' skipper left it to late in the season to start a voyage from Victoria.
Jeanne Socrates, the 74-year-old woman trying to set a record as the oldest person to sail alone around the world, has met a setback.
Storm damage to Socrates’ sailboat, Nereida, has forced her to turn back to complete repairs in Victoria. She is expected back on Sunday or Monday.

over 1/2 the boats had to withdraw due to light winds this year.
