After the introduction to sailing on the 22ft boat, we took the 34ft boat off the dock.
Winds were light, about 8 knots from the south Under headsail alone, we were doing 2.5 knots. Melissa drove and did great job. Decided to hoist the main, and our speed picked up over 5 knots on a beam reach towards Oshawa.
About 2/3 of the way there, the wind died completed, and swung around to the north. We dropped the sails and motored into the Oshawa harbour. Saw Cajun and Whisper on the wall. Headed back under motor as the wind was now from the west (where we wanted to go), hugging the shore looking at Oshawa/Whitby from the water.
Melissa had to head to a BBQ with her friends, but it was fun day on the water.
Watched the fireworks in Whitby Harbour from the back of the boat in its slip
