When: <b><span style="color: yellow;">start at August 5th, 2013</span></b>, after the <a href="http://www.cowbay-regatta.ca/" target="_blank">Cow Bay Regatta</a><br />
Where from: Cowichan Bay, Vancouver Island, Canada<br />
Where to: the Broughtons (now, where is that?)<br />
How much: it's free!<br />
Who: anything that floats, multihulls, F-boats, etc. - for real sailors only!<br />
<br />
Whom to contact: <b><span style="color: yellow;">iqci33 </span><span style="color: orange;">at</span><span style="color: yellow;"> yahoo.com</span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
The Broughtons = as close as you can get to Haida Gwai (formerly Queen Charlotte Islands) - the last untouched wilderness to reach without going offshore.<br />
<br />
