We made coffee and toasted some bagles on the propane stove for breakfast.
I checked the engine oil and it was low, had to add 1L.
Engine burns oil when heeled over.

When we came in last night, there was a squeaking sound from the motor.
I was too tired to troubleshoot it last night.
Discovered that the glue holding the engine sound insulation has let go and the foil backed rubber material was rubbing against the alternator pulley. Secured it with some duct tape. No problem.

Peter re-tuned the rig.
Still Time was parked in Coug's old slip.
We left the dock around 9:30am.
Winds were from the SW 14-22 knots: on the nose to get around the Leslie Spit.
We sailed the entire way with a double reef and 110 jib beating upwind until turning into Toronto Harbour.
Boat performed admirably.

Coming into the inner harbour, we saw the 76ft yacht Tasbaco at anchor by RCYC:
We pulled into Hanlan's Wall around 1pm with the others.

Discovered some problems with the boat:
We forgot to close the one kitchen cupboard, and all the dishes came crashing down breaking a couple of plates.
The front hatch is leaking: all the bedding, and v-birth cushions were soaked. We were taking waves over the bow, and the hatch gaskets are not sealing properly. Even though I have had it rebuilt, the hinges are worn and have an 1/8" gap at the top of the hatch. Something to address in the off season. Got all the bedding outside to dry in the sun, and propped the cushions up and dried them out with an electric heater.
The bathroom was soaking wet. The toilet paper roll weighed like 10 lbs!
Thought I had left the window slightly open, but now that I think of it, we were heeled over so much on a port tack, that the bathroom sink would have been underwater. There was 4" of water in the bathroom vanity behind the mirrors. Have to remember to close the sea cock for the sink next time.

The head was smelly and the bowl water was discoloured a sure sign that the joker valve needs to be replaced.
