On Oct. 2nd, we had our fundraiser at the beautiful Restaurant L'Ambroisie . With about 30 people in attendance, everyone came to have some great food, great wine (courtesy of Menage a Trois) and a great stories from Tania!

I'd like to extend my thanks to Stuart (the owner of the restaurant) for going out of his way to make sure the event was a success...

Check out the photos here and here.

Hey everyone!

We have been extremely busy getting the boat ready, organizing events and going to interviews. On top of our full time jobs, it's been really hectic.

I would like to remind everyone that the Tilley Endurables wine and cheese event is coming up in Brossard on September 29th.

We are also having a fundraising dinner at Restaurant L'Ambroisie featuring Tania Aebi - who at 18 years old sailed around the world alone. It's definitely going to be an interesting night full of stories!

We just came out of the Concordia University photo shoot for their paper. Here are the photos courtesy of the university!

Check out the article the Concordia Engineering Dept did about us!
 
 
Here is an article from the Associated press mentioning that the ocean temperatures are rising dramatically. This is not a good sign for us in the short term as racers. Drinking water is going to be a high priority - and if the desalinator pump breaks down, we're screwed.

In the long term, this ocean warming will change the chemistry of the ocean and increase evaporation. Which as a result - a chain reaction of killing off food supplies for the fish and increase of ocean bacteria.

We are now offering the Offshore/Advanced First Aid Course in conjunction with Jim Ongena. This course is designed for those who spend time in the  outdoors exposed to  the elements and far from the assistance of the 911 EMS systems.

It is for outdoor leaders and responsible wilderness users who know that accidents happen and that medical help may be days away. This is not similar to a St. Johns or a Red Cross course!
