Fall is in the air

There's no doubt that fall was in the air this weekend as both Saturday and Sunday were cool and windy on the lake. We took a pass on Saturday as temperatures were in the low teens and winds were gusting to over 20 kts. On Sunday conditions were a bit better, and we headed off the dock around 2pm. The wind was blowing SE 12-18kts and temperature was a cool 16c. We caught up with Vince and Julie on Pea's & Carrots just outside PCYC harbour and we both sailed close hauled towards Clarkson. Conditions on the water were a bit lumpy but we easily made 7-8 kts in the brisk wind. We sailed with our full main up and the genoa all the way out. VICTURA handles these types of conditions easily without heeling excessively. After a couple of hours with the winds continuing to build we headed back in.
