Last Weekend of the Season

Hard to believe, but this weekend was our last weekend of the season for sailing. We had the boat out on both Saturday and Sunday. The weather was terrific with lots of wind and unseasonably mild temperatures. On Saturday we made our way over to Toronto and met up with CASSIS in front of the city and sailed back to Port Credit. On Sunday, we took Sara and Trevor and sailed towards Oakville. Both days were terrific days for sailing, but sadly the season has come to an end. We've had an unbelievably nice September with clear sunny days and temperatures in the mid 20's. Unfortunately, the hot dry weather has also caused lake water levels that are normally lower this time of year to drop even further. Although we're still above chart datum as per the chart below, the depth of the water has been dropping and at the Club's travel lift it's now below 7 feet. Since Victura draws 6 feet, we decided not to take a chance and rebooked our haul-out to October 8th. So next Monday at 9:15 we come out. So after sailing today we removed all her sails and started getting the boat ready to come out. Sad but a nice end to the season.
