SeaDog Sailing Plans Summer 2016


Hello Folks,

  Below is a tentative schedule for the 2 races we have registered for this summer.  I am still playing with format so ignore the repetition of info.
 The links to the races are:
http://www.routehalifaxsaintpierre.com/new_site/about_the_race.html
http://www.racethecape.ca/

 Our goal is to leave for Nova Scotia and allow enough travel time so we don't arrive tired.  Especially since doing these 2 races back to back is already an aggressive sailing schedule.

Make sure your passports are not near expiring (voice of experience here).

Whenever I update any information I will send an email directing you here.
All suggestions welcome!
Michele
