VANCOUVER ISLAND WINDTALK

We're expecting to spread John's ashes over the waters off Finlayson Point the evening of May 15th, (Thursday).
We'll have the area around the green gazebo roped off for our use.
There will be ceremonial fireworks at dusk.
Please keep the evening of May 15th free as it will be our last chance to give John a heartfelt goodbye!
The balance of funds will be going to the Graham Norris Fund.

What time is this expected to go down?

City of Victoria has indicated we are to use CLOVER POINT, sorry for the confusion, just found out.
We are closing it to the public during the ceremony.
Launch time will be just after dusk.
See you all there!!

Thanks Iggy that makes much more sense considering the amount of people and vehicles involved. cheers all.

OK...I'll be the one to ask the stupid question....when the heck is dusk?

Cindy

sunset is 8.46pm today, so dusk i believe is after sunset, so extrapelating that, i would say nine ish, me, i'm aiming for 8.30pm arrival, could be an amazing sunset also. . smiles johnny

Hi all.
I would think arrival time around 9:00 P.M. tonight will work, come earlier if you want to hang out, we expect to launch approximately 9:45/10:00 P.M.
Should be good parking right on the Clover Point.

Wow what a great send off for Johnny. Thanks Iggy, Grant and everyone who put that together.
Dave

Special thanks to Don McCauley of AFA Fireworks who donated hours of time & several trips down from Nanimo to plan and stage this event.
He charged a nominal $75. for fuel.

Huge thanks and gratitude to all those involved in putting John's send off together. What a great night and vibe.

Yes..what i wonderful thing to do, that was huge...all the water men and women + all the parks people + plus other people that knew him and loved him..me thinks the angels were taking him home! for all of the logistics to work out just like that, amazing, very little wind, starlit sky, all of it..amazing, many thanks to all those that put it all together, perhaps it is an example of group consciousness ? , you know who those are for, it's time that all of us start smiling again..because that is what he would want.... cheers people!

I note it took until now to tie our buddy in this year's sailing sessions, his last being a wonderful thing judging by the pix. Cheers JR, miss your energy bud
