Kona racing in Trois-Rivières, Québec

Friday, June 22, I hit the road towards Club Multivoile in Trois-Rivières for the East Coast Championship. Going by myself but my friend Denis will be there and Andrée Gauthier from Toronto and a few others that I met along the way windsurfing.

What a great weekend we had! Fourteen Kona racers! We did 4 races each day, Saturday and Sunday. Saturday, the wind was gusty and irregular but it changed direction for Sunday and was pretty steady. Just my strength of wind too! Saturday I had two 7th and two 8th but Sunday brought one 8th then two 5th and another 8th. I could not believe those 5th. I was right behind the best in our group! I ended up with a bronze medal in the women's division. I finished 7th overall. My fellow Ontarians and I did pretty well overall.

Club Multivoile is also the site of the 2013 World Kona Championship so that was a good practice race for us. We will be back next year! Thank you Dominique Vallée and her army of volunteers for organizing a great weekend on the water.
