A winter cruiser snuggled in at Fernwood Dock. Sunrise on Salt Spring Island.

Ship Shape
The Salt Spring Island Sailing Club (SISC) and its revised layout and enviable new docks.
Once upon a time there was a San Juan 28 (Legacy) and then, in its place, a wee Martin 242 (Oscar) at this club…
And on a related note, SISC at sunrise:
The End of Two-foot-itus
Ganges Harbour
Thinking of picking up a sailboat? This one should keep you away from the dreaded ‘two-foot-itus‘ for a fair while. It’s 295 feet long; squeeze it on to your soccer field in the off season.
It’s probably for sale, most sailboats are. But remember, if you have to ask the price… In the meantime there’s a wealth of info about the yacht and its owner on the internet.
* thanks Tom for the insider info on Athena’s pending arrival in Ganges.
Round Salt Spring 2013
A most unusual sight. A very large fleet of spinnakers flying up Trincomali Channel. Since this year’s race took the course less travelled (Saltspring Island to PORT), and since the wind was decent and steady, the boats were within sight of one-another 45 minutes into the race. This photo was taken from Fernwood dock; the first boats, led by Mojo, were already between Fernwood and Southey Point.
This speedy J 109 seen doing a sail change above, was leading the fleet here at Nose Point and was still ahead as it turned the corner at Southey Point.
Dinghy Dock
Early morning view of the dinghy dock at the Saltspring Island Sailing Club—home of this weekend’s Round Saltspring 2013 sailing race. More than 100 sailboats, including some super fast racers, will try to be first around this year.
(first around will pretty much always go to an all-out race boat, but with the handicap system in place, in theory everyone has an equal chance at correcting out to first place)
I think I caught a glimpse of Batman in the photo!
