Goldstream

Drove out to Goldstream on Saturday in the pouring rain. The fish weren't running yet but the leaves were gorgeous in the rain. Climbed Finlayson (which kicks my butt every time). Didn't go all the way up as the rocks were really slippery.

Post NQR

I called the regatta we sailed in earlier this month the "NQR" as in National Qualifying Regatta; however the Canadian Yachting Association did not make it a qualifying event for the 470 fleet. It was the 470 Canadians, but as the CYA forgot to even award the women's title, they don't seem to have placed a high priority on the event. The next major event for the 470 is the Miami Olympic Classes Regatta in January.

Calgary-Toronto Photos

I drove to Calgary at the end of August for a few days and then flew to Toronto for a wedding. Pictures are here: http://picasaweb.google.ca/lh/sredir?uname=eflanagan111&target=ALBUM&id=5387125676031767793&authkey=Gv1sRgCLLaqYSxmIW3Jw&feat=email
