Fall Sailing - September 28, 2008

Sunday was a beautiful fall day with nice conditions on the water. Temperature in the low 20's and wind (at least when we started) about 10-12kts. We set out about 12pm and caught up with Julie and Vince Wong on Peas & Carrots who were on there way in. As Pea's & Carrrots pealed away Peter and Donna Howells on Cassis caught up to us and we sailed towards Toronto. The conditions were superb and we made good headway. We had a wind change and the wind gradually built to the mid teens with gusts into the 20's. We shot some video of Cassis healing in the wind. After a few hours and a building sea, we turned around and started back making great time. We had Victura doing 8.25 kts on the return leg surfing down some waves. When we entered the harbour, the wind was gusting to the mid/upper teens. A few of our neighbours were waiting on the dock to grab lines and we made it in without incident.
