Its not winter yet...

Despite the frost on the windows yesterday morning, it turned into a great day for sailing... its no joke! The afternoon was warm and the wind was perfect for a range of sailing conditions without getting too wet. We could have held a regatta! I had hopped to spend the day on the water again today but the rain washed away our ambition. There is always next weekend.

looks like a good day for sailing.

Anyone want to join?

snow sailing

Wow, going fast in flat water and 10-15knts. Perfect conditions, well except for the snow.

Canadian Nationals

Another great event in Toronto. We saw 20+ knts and huge waves out in the lake on day 1. John and I were not about to wait on the docks for racing to start (or wind to soften). Even though we were in the sub 300lb club we spent a few hours ripping around in the lake and then the harbour before racing started at 2:00pm. Too bad that we had a break down just before the first race, we still had a LOT of sailing! And luckily the photo boat was there too!

Day 2 had less wind and three races, but it was very close racing with lots of lead changes.
