Done with the first leg of the race, that is. In light winds and rain, Team Pure & Wild made it to Victoria in 5th place overall, and was the first boat under sail to ring the bell yesterday. Many other teams struggled later in the day, with 40 knot winds and rough seas, and were forced to turn back or take shelter off course.
And...they're off!

All that seafood at seafood expo. Where does it go?
Posted on March 30, 2017
Each year there is an amazing array of seafood on display at Seafood Expo North America in Boston. Where does all that seafood go? It gets donated to the Greater Boston Food Bank! How cool is that? For many years, SeaShare has helped coordinate the donation by expo exhibitors to the food bank. The Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau supports SeaShare, coordinates the logistics, and we save thousands of pounds of amazing seafood from being thrown away. This year 30,800 pounds were donated to the Greater Boston Food Bank, that's over 120,000 servings of seafood for people struggling with hunger in Boston and throughout New England.
