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 Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
