FCRCC Dueling Hearts Regatta

We were treated to a sunny and warm west coast morning today for the Dueling Hearts Regatta hosted by False Creek Racing Canoe Club. BCKCers Ben, Katja, Jeff, Kiran, Jim, Coach Lynn, Rebecca and John took part in the festivities. The event was mostly attended by outrigger canoe paddlers, with the Burnaby crew racing our speedy K1, K2 and surf ski watercraft. The water conditions were mostly flat giving the flatwater boats a slight edge over the open water specialized surf skis. There was just enough motor boat traffic in the inlet to create the odd set of waves to make the K1 racers a bit nervous. The FCRCC event organizers and volunteers did a nice job with the regatta and gave out lots of cool draw prizes and lots of chocolate treats to help replenish our depleted energy stores, or at least to give us a massive chocolate buzz!
