An illegal photograph at Edinburgh Airport! Travel organiser Malcolm Patrick, Matt Murdoch and Team Captain Donald Whyte flew down on a different airline to Heathrow. The rest of us wondered if there was something they knew that we didn’t! All went well however on the first leg of our adventure. Experienced international traveller Bill Duncan pointed out that the boarding passes on all our boarding cards had “Hospitality” writ large along the top, so a band of gullible curlers followed him to the Maple Leaf lounge to take advantage of Air Canada’s renowned pre-departure hospitality service. Robin Copland was shoved to the front to explain just how important this party was, only to be gently informed that “Hospitality” was Air-Canada-speak for “back of the bus”! Collapse of case and a shame-faced backtrack through security ensued.

Convoy Cup Mini-Offshore Race September 12, 2020
Notice of Race Convoy Cup Mini-Offshore Race September 12, 2020 1. Organizing Authority: These races are hosted by the Dartmouth Yacht Club of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. 2. Objectives: The Convoy Cup Ocean Race offers racing and cruising yachts an opportunity to participate in an ocean race to commemorate the links that formed between the province of Nova Scotia and the countries of Europe during the two world wars. Halifax was the congregation point for hundreds of naval vessels and supply ships that formed convoys to transport the necessities of life across the Atlantic Ocean; this race is dedicated to the memory of all those men and women in the navy and merchant marine service who sailed in those convoys. 3. Rules: Racing will be governed by the Racing Rules of Sailing 2017-2020 (RRS), the prescriptions of the Canadian Yachting Association and this Notice of Race except as modified by the Sailing Instructions. Dartmouth Yacht Club Race Committee (RC) will have final authority on all matters. 4. Description: Normally the Convoy Cup is an overnight 100 n/m ocean race and a Basin Race is also held. This season is quite different due to the COVID 19 pandemic so the event this year has been changed to a mini-offshore race. The Convoy Cup Mini-Offshore Race will be comprised of 1 race of approximately 30 n/m (course and distances may be adjusted according to forecast winds and conditions). 5. Start date, course and finish: The races will commence September 12, 2020 at 1200 at a start line established between the Navy Island buoy HY2 (Mark 11on the DYC course card) and the RC flag on the Race Committee boat passing either side of George’s Island outbound only, and proceeding to HB, port rounding and return keeping George’s Island to starboard, to finish at the CSS Acadia dock, at in a line projected from the edge of the wharf, which is closest to the Last Steps Memorial.
