CORK not cancelled….so far

CORK Sailing Portsmouth Olympic Harbour Lake Ontario

Apr 23, 2020

The CORK Board continues to monitor developments and meet regularly to plan for the future. Generally, our partners (Sail Canada, Ontario Sailing, City of Kingston, class associations, etc) continue to take a waiting approach, with cancellations until the end of May for some.

The possibility remains that a national body such as Sport Canada could mandate a general cancellation.

We have a few updates to share with you all from the last CORK board meeting:

•CORK events are not cancelled at this time, any cancellation decision will be done at least 45 days in advance of each event.
Contingency budgets have been developed to safeguard CORK’s financial reserves.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
