Deep Cove Regatta





ITS an annual two-day event that sailors all over Vancouver look forward to. North Vancouver's Deep Cove Yacht Club held its regatta this past weekend and the weather was perfect. Unlike last year, when crews had to fight wind and rain, this year the skies were clear and it was smooth sailing all round. Lots of North Shore boats were mong the over 40 entries competing for prizes, but judging from the smiles, it was more about fun than anything else.
