NSSA 2

Aug 23, 2017

The folks at the NSSA had a successful race week as this note from Rochelle clearly shows:

“It was a terrific race week in Shelburne. We had guests!!!! BLACKBIRD, VOYAGER,MALABAR II, and COLUMBIA from the USA and WOLFHOUND from New Zealand. Everyone, and I do mean everyone, had a week to remember. We did the International Race and MALABAR II(USA) beat COMET II(CAN) by 7 seconds.

Our guests are envious of our race week and the enjoyment we get from it. I am pretty sure they will be back. COLUMBIA gave an open house to visitors-she was packed!!! The NSSA took guests out one evening for a harbour sail that was a highlight for all involved.

Our local MP, Bernadette Jordan, presented the Willa Creighton Memorial Trophy to the Lady Skipper and I am proud to say it was ME-Rochelle Veinot-Whynott on PEGASUS. Our third year for the race and it is becoming one of the highlights. Another takeaway for the USA, as they have no designated women’s race but I bet they will have soon. Their women loved the race and even though they lost to me, it was nothing but a good experience all around.

The shores we packed with people taking photos and many drones were hovering for aerial shots. It was a phenomenal CANADA 150 for our association and we will remember it always.”

Hiding Out in Belize

Dodging holiday havoc in the tropics

Getting out of town was top-of-mind as it was only November and I was already saturated with Christmas traditions – the music, the glitter, the cookies, the sales. A week in relatively remote Belize was the siren song so we booked a 45-foot catamaran with The Moorings and packed our bags.
