I am proud to say that Griffin Bay Adventures' first class was a success. This passage was emblematic of the kind of educational adventure I am looking forward to continuing to offer. The smiles as we passed the bottle of champagne around on the dock in Victoria Harbor after our finish made all the work and that lead up to the passage and the hardships of passage totally worthwhile. The comradery that comes from a 300 mile trip up the Washington Coast and down the Straights of Juan De Fuca is what keeps people coming back to this challenging and rewarding race every year.
The crew consisted of three students; a father and two sons and three instructors.
