THE 40 ft. cutter-rigged Canadian yacht “Ecapee” has arrived at Suva from Vancouver by way of San Francisco, Honolulu, Fanning Island, the Marquesas, Papeete and Apia. Aboard are Mr.
P. H. G. Brock (owner) and Messrs. J.
Wells and R. Parlou, all members of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club.
During a stay of about three months, the “Escapee” will cruise about the Fiji Group and then will probably return to Vancouver.
The secretary of the Suva Yacht Club (Mr. B. A. Lee) has received a letter from Mr. Jack Earl, of Sydney, who is at Nukualofa after sailing his yacht “Kathleen” round the world on an un usual west-east course, returning via Panama. The “Kathleen” was expected to call at Suva on the last leg of the voyage back to Sydney, but Mr. Earl says that this will not be possible.
The South African yacht “Springbok” arrived at Auckland on October 21—19 days out from Suva.
