Message From The Editor
Editor’s notebook – aargh!
Your editor was pounding the keys and reading boating news diligently while trying hard not to look out the window. Without checking, I knew that I would see acres of snow, icicles and shivering pedestrians in toques. Yes, I get it – this is Canada so quit whining.
Then, into my mailbox arrives a notice that the flag drops on the Caribbean 600 in just 11 days. Like many of us, I have been mostly staying home but as the temp stays sub-zero, my resolute stance is wavering.
Whether you’re a racing sailor, cruiser or even if you have never been on a sailboat before, the Caribbean race circuit is a lot of fun.
