Progress Comparison & J24's

As you can see from the picture below, we've had to expand the scope of the photo's to include the end of the breakwater.

Oops! Thought I had left enough room when I started

On a totally different note... I was at Poley yesterday (what a beautiful winter day) and ran into some old friends from the Shediac Bay Yacht Club - Jamie Storey and Paul Poirier. Some of you who sail on the RYC Cruise may remember Jamie. His family have been long-time sailors in Shediac and he has been a guest of Phil Pugsley at various times on various cruises. Paul is an old neighbour of ours from Grand Digue and sails a beautiful Tartan 3500, including taking a run with his wife, three kids and their dog, to the Magdalen Islands last summer. Jamie and Paul proudly told me that Shediac will be hosting the J24 Canadian Nationals this summer (August 3rd thru the 5th.) That should be some exciting racing! (Link to the web site)

Does anyone know if there are any teams or crew from the Saint John area headed to Shediac for this event? If so, post a comment or send an e-mail and I'll put their names on the Blog (and any other pertinent information - boat name, photo, etc.)
