After spending the night on Hanlan's Wall on Friday night:
We had a community breakfast with all WYC boats.
We loaded up Still Time with Dave, Mark, Peter, Bill, and Phil and headed over to National Yacht Club for a sail on ZAMBONI.
Here we are bringing ZAMBONI over to the wall by Still Time:
It was blowing 20+ knots from the WSW with 5-6 ft waves, so we rigged a reefed main and #3.
We sailed closed hauled out into the lake and tacked toward Port Credit.
As we got closer to shore we noticed a storm cell approaching from the west, so we gybed, and hoisted our smallest chute and flew back to Toronto avoiding the nasty stuff. We hit 14.1 knots surfing down a wave! It started the rain just as we got to the dock.
Phil and Bill had smiles from ear to ear!
We flaked the main, and stuffed the wet #3 and spin down below.
We had a couple of beers below on Still Time while major rain and wind pounded the area.
After about half an hour, I motored back over the Hanlan's Wall:
Michael also joined us for the night.
Sorry no GPS track
