Left the dock a little after 9am, single handed.

Winds were forecast for 7-10 knots from the SW and swing to W towards Toronto.
Out on the water, they were much less. Tried to sail with jib only with the wind on a broad reach, but could only muster 2 knots of boat speed without the motor. With the motor, the jib was collapsing because the apparent wind generated by the foreward motion of the boat was more than the wind pushing the sails.
Motored the entire way.
Got some rain off Port Credit.
Leftover 2ft swells made is very lumpy until the east side of the Leslie Street spit.
Towards Whitby is was sunny and warmer, and with winds had picked up slightly from the south. Probably could have sailed, but I just wanted to get home.
Burned an 1/8th of a tank of diesel (10 L).
