No, SooToday.com wasn't climbing any masts during the Trans-Superior 2003 Yacht Race.

We were comfortably and graciously entertained by Jack and Shirley Dacey aboard their tug, the Whitney III.

But we were able to snap quite a few photos of the 24 sailboats in the race, as we followed them from the Bondar Marina to the start line at Gros Cap.
