2Paths 1,2 at Gibsons regatta
It was a busy week for 2Paths adventurers. Leaving directly from the team-building whitewater rafting trip on Friday, several 2Pathians sailed to the little town of Gibsons to take part in a regatta that is part of the towns annual festivities. This meant a 1am arrival for the more party hearty of the two participating J24s.
Although the event was more casual than the strict one design racing the boats normally engage in, there was no shortage of spirited jostling between the two. Several lead changes and close crossings charged the 2Paths contingent, separating them from the rest of the fleet. After the 3 races, the software sailors earned first and second in their division.
While the more experienced team prevailed, the newcomers showed incredible speed and impressive skill. With a bit more time in the local waters Gord, Chico and crew will get their vindication over Nigel, Trevor and theirs.
The fun didn’t end with finishing gun. While one team went to the beach to swim in the clear cool water, the other heated it up with the nightlife. Rumours are still trickling in about busted moves at the street dance, prodigous shots at Grandma’s pub, and an midnight sortie in an tipsy borrowed skiff.
