Leg 3 Report (Campbell River to Kelsey Bay)
- Exciting start with gusty wind coming down Johnstone Strait. Lulls as low as 10 and puffs clocking 25-30.
- Pretty much spent the whole day in 18-25 with gusts 25-32 kts. We sailed with 2nd reef and J4
- topography and Currents kept bringing new changes. First Van Isle 360 for this crew and it's living up to it's reputation!
- Finish was the bumpiest with 3 kt current against the continued breeze and a big knock on starboard required crossing on Port in a nasty wave direction.
- WOW! Another memorable day. Spyhop Inside crew: David Schutte, Calla Ward, Brandon Saimo, Nic Wayand, Dennis Lussier, Cara Kuhlman
