There are hundreds of magnificent photos from this years SSR in Canada at http://www.flickr.com/photos/28410690@N02 . - Watch out for the BayRaider. What a great sea area and scenery for a serious raid! Good company too. Surely rivals Scotland.

Hi, Claus. I agree. Looks like a great spot...and good to see the BayRaider building even more of an internatuional reputation.
Just one thing. Why do all the good spots for a raid have to be in COLD water! I m just back from the annual Ionian run and I cant get WARM! ....and as for the rain... Matt told me the CBL would float on a wet lawn. Little did I know I d be putting it to the test.
Still. Mustnt grumble, ay? ust heading off on a run down the high street to fetch some milk from the Co-op.
Have to short tack back up again unless I use the outboard.... Too late! One of my Greek mates has just popped round for a chat.
Cheers. From Tony the Whinger

Tony, no reason. We actually had a great raid in the warm waters of the Venice Lagoon at the Velalonga Raid in June. Absolutely superb. It\\\'s a free world, one can today pick raids in all sorts of different locations, water depths and temperatures.

Hi, Claus.
Yes. I must look into the Velalonga Raid. Sheltered water, stunning location .. and I bet the food is pretty good, too. What more could one ask? Determined to get a few more trips that under my belt. Have had the Four Sisters for 3 seasons now and have clocked up well over 10,000 miles (on the trailer) and need to do more before either the wheel bearings, my 7-year-old Subaru or my heart pacemaker batteries give out! (I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'m on my second set of tyres already - which is annoying. Have you had problems with uneven wear?)
