Great cruise in the sun except for the $35 parking ticket (no parking metres anywhere in the city, but the boat launch "improvement area" apparently needs a ticket and I didn't see the sign). New 7-oh Superfreak pulls harder at the low end than the 7.5 Retro did, and its WAY lighter feel, and jibes and tacks like a dream; super easy transitions. Crossed the harbour a few times, threaded through the trees and driftwood tide lines that has come in from the flooding Skeena, got planing once, teased a bunch. Another couple of knots and I'd have been off. Flat water but huge tides and currents, but no problem even in the light stuff for the Kona! Deer trotted over the parking lot as I rigged, tons of eagles flying around, porpoise, beavers and otters (the flying kind), really fun just looking around.
