[Public-List] Great Lakes / Chesapeake Races

[Kris Coward]

I dunno, I think it speaks well to the Candy Cane/Lindisfarne
performance that we got billed as "also rans" in spite of Lindisfarne
not actually having run the first race..

And the second WO isn't a typo; Summer Salt had the wild card as her
teammate. It just wouldn't have been sporting to pair Candy Cane off
with the wild card and send the Americans home with blue flags.. :)

Cheers,
Kris
