OK, after a good nights sleep, I left the dock a little after 8am.
I was hoping to make it to the Burlington lift bridge for the 9am bridge opening, but was about 2 minutes late, the bridge closed before I got there. I radioed the bridge master, and he said that the next opening won't be until 10am. Oh well, I toured around Hamilton Harbour for a bit.
Getting through the bridge was uneventful, but alas, there wasn't any wind to speak off. Motor sailed all the way to Whitby, arriving after 6pm. Took the time to scrub the deck, clean the cockpit. Also installed the lazy jacks. They worked well as I dropped the mainsail in the Whitby Harbour.
Trip Odometer: 49.89 miles
Moving Avg: 6.0 knots
Moving Time: 10:14:15
NOTE: batteries were low on the GPS when I started out; could not lock on a GPS satellite. Took me a while to figure this out, so the track does not start until after the Burlington lift bridge.
