CS34 Cobourg to Whitby (Rita's Birthday)

Rita and I had her birthday off.

We went to the downtown Buttermilk Café for a lovely breakfast.

We cast off at 10:15am.

Winds were light from the NE 2-4 knots.  We tried to motor sail, but there wasn't enough wind to make any speed difference, and our apparent wind was collapsing the sails.  We just motored along at 7 knots.

When we got near Newcastle, the wind had swung around to the south (on the beam) and picked up to 10-12 knots.  Out with the sails and off with the motor!  It was nice to be sailing along at 6 knots all the way to Whitby.

Pulling into our slip at 4:30pm, we noticed how much hotter is was on land.  We decided to anchor offshore by the clubhouse, and cook dinner and relax.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RITA!!!
