Indian Point Yacht Club MICA race

Indian Point 1

July 9, 2016

There was a great turnout for the Indian Point Yacht Club’s July 1st race in support of the Mahone Islands Conservation Association (MICA). The yachts enjoyed perfect Canada Day weather as Class A raced around the MICA islands of Andrews, Covey, and Backmans, between Bella and Mason and back to Indian Point. Class B went around Andrews and through the passage between Gifford and Rouse islands, getting a good view of Goat Island then past Zwicker and back to Indian Point.

Mahone Islands Conservation Association (MICA) was formed in 2002 and held their first public meeting on March 29, 2003. Their Mission Statement:
“To protect and conserve the natural environment of the islands and shoreline of Mahone Bay,
and the traditional, social and recreational opportunities valued by its various communities.”

Here is a great video, Gems of the Bay, taken last fall by drone owner and MICA supporter David Watson with editing by MICA supporter Wendy Levy.

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
