We couldn't have dreamed of a better delivery back from the Swiftsure from Victoria, BC to Seattle and we love to share this windy video with you in 4K. Action sequence starts at 5:30. Enjoy!
What was supposed to be a direct shot across the strait of Juan de Fuca ended up in an epic sail with three crossings in one day -- each over 20NM, and with fantastic and strengthening sailing conditions. Most of the Swiftsure crew stayed on for this delivery and enjoyed a much longer sail, some whale sightings, a gale and even a coast guard helicopter coast guard fly-by. We couldn't clear US customs at Port Townsend on Memorial Day as we had done the year before. We were sent back to Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands instead -- but it turned out to be some the best sailing we've ever done on Pardon My French.. Big smiles all round when we reached Seattle at 3:30am the following day.
If you haven't yet, check our video of the Swiftsure, the race that preceded this delivery.
About Pardon My French: a 1993 40.5 Hunter Legend, she’s not even close to being the fastest but she’s never afraid to go rumble with the big guys. What she lacks in speed, she gives in spirit, and in stride -- we push the 25 year-old girl hard and she loves it!
If you can spot our mistakes and are interested in crewing on Pardon My French for some local racing in the Seattle area, shoot us a mail to frederick@svpardonmyfrench.com - will get in touch if we have available spots.
