After spending a windless Sunday in the land yacht in Prince Edward County (twas nice!), Rita and I ventured close hauled west. NW winds 8-10 knots with gusts to 15-20. Reefed main, and 110. Should have put a 2nd reef in as most of time the main was doing nothing. However, putting a 2nd reef in involves removing sail slugs, and re-routing clew reef line to the 2nd reef point!
We flew at over 6 knots most of the time.
Got fairly close to shore off Ajax into less then 5 ft of water before we turned out.
Got to the mouth of Frenchman's Bay, before turning around to head back for Pier 8 BBQ!
Beam/broad reach all the way back, fast!
We hooked up to a WYC anchor ball for a while, it was awesome!
