Summer Cruise 2008 -1

We set out for our summer cruise in Monday, July 7th leaving the club about 9am enroute to our first stop at Whitby Marina. Our friends Peter & Donna Howells onboard their boat CASSIS travelled with us. Winds were very light going to Whitby so we were on motor the whole way. Whitby was easy to find and the facilities were great. Next day we were off to Cobourg, another 35nm east. Again the winds were very light and we were on motor the whole way. WIth the light wind and flat water the bugs (flies and knats were brutal). At Cobourg we joined about 30 other PCYC members who were there on a club cruise. Two days at Cobourg marina were terrifc. We had a nice dinner at Cobourg Yacht Club and had a relaxing time walking around Cobourg. We stumbled upon a concert at the Cobourg band shell and took in a couple of songs. Weather was great and the forecast for the trip across the lake was favourable.
