Now, Tech Talk with Alan Perry on the IHeart Radio Talk Network.

Well, hello there.

Welcome aboard our Swifter and U.S. Memorial Day weekend edition for Tech Talk for 2026.

We are live with you Saturday morning, May 23rd, as the Swiftshire boats are heading out into the Salish Sea.

On C-Fax 1070 in Victoria, on Colonna's AM 1150, where you probably have no idea what that is, the Swifshire race.

Sunday afternoon, we're being rebroadcast on C-Fax in Victoria.

You might be listening to us across Canada on Saturday morning on the I Heart Radio Talk

Network or somewhere else in the world on radio streaming apps like Radio Garden, or you

might be listening to us on a podcast anywhere you get your podcasts.

We this weekend is myself, Alan Perry.

Gary Beyer from Tessarack 2.0. Thanks for coming in to spend part of the weekend with us. Always fun. And Catherine Abbott, the dinosaur lady, with non-dinosaur-related news this week. And also with a ghost in the studio. Yeah, there's a ghost here as well. Four-footed ghost. Very quiet, cute little four-footed ghost. He's snoring right now. He is snoring. He's got his paws up in a little V. Oh, it's so cute. Catherine, she brought him in a backpack. Yeah. A dog backpack. I biked here and I put him in a little puppy backpack and he did great. That is cool. So the Swisher International yacht races are happening this weekend off the Victoria

Waterfront, some 100 boats participating, for those of you in the Okinawagon.

It's nowhere near as big, Gary, as it has been in decades and years past.

No, it's amazing how it used to bring, well, tourists from almost all over the world,

and Victoria people would just pack the inner harbor.

Yep, and the night before, and now, I'm sure if we were down at Dallas Road,

we used to do live coverage of all this,

I'm sure there's still hundreds of people down there because it's a beautiful morning

looking across the sailors sea.

There is a massive fog bank out there, so the sailors are going to have to strategize with that.
