We could use at least a couple more months of this weather… That being said there was no shortage of longboats in Deep Cove this past Tuesday night! It was the annual doubles races where racers pick a mate and battle it out tandem style. There were doubles surf skis, double kayaks, and even a quadruple paddleboard! The doubles night was a huge success; you could say our attendance “doubled”…   Last Tuesdays course was a rather long a gruelling strai ..read more
