There’s not a whole lot to say about Driftsure 2019. Bruce warned you. 14 finishers on the various courses needed perseverance and hopefully enough food. At this writing there were still three boats out there. The rest have “withdrawn” and a lot of them are probably back in their home slips by now.
Jan and Skip Anderson were out there shooting, but as she says “This pretty well sums up the race this weekend! 😊” She did shoot this video and promises stills (very still no doubt) soon.
As my son Gabe said when I asked him if he wanted to see a funny video, he saw it and said, “That’s not funny, it’s just sad.” That said, I’m sure the folks who stuck it out had a good time. .
