Great turnout from North and South, with excellent conditions for a memorable race. Wind and swell was just enough from the west to light up fast Salish rollers for the return trip, but a lot of work at the same time. Shane Martin scored a solid win today after a back and forth battle on the runners home with yours truly. Good, honest racing today with a lot very fast times.

On a sad note, an OC1 racer (I don't know his name - anyone?) suffered what appears to be a heart attack right after the race, and it was a battle to keep him going. I heard word that he had a pulse as they took him to the hospital, so hopeful he'll make it. If anyone from the Canadian community can keep us posted, I think many would like to know. Rooting for him.

Hug your loved ones. Count your blessings. Life is sweet and bitter.
