CS34 Sunday Sail

Rita's sister Debbie and her husband have been visiting from Victoria BC and used the boat as a hotel for the weekend.  While the ladies went shopping on a Sunday afternoon, Hans (Debbie's husband) and John (Rita's other sister Wendy's husband) went out for an afternoon sail.

It was a little cold at 14 degrees, but sunny with a NW wind 15-20 knots.  We went out with a reefed main and full genoa.  Wind on the beam, got the boat going over 6 knots the entire time.

Past Oshawa, the wind dropped a little and shifted to the NW (behind the beam) so we shook the reef out. We turned around near the Darlington nuclear generating station, and headed back to Whitby close hauled.  Winds started picking up, so we put the reef back in and furled in a little of the genoa to keep the boat in its feet.

John did a great job on the helm.  It was nice to not have to trim the sails, as Hans was looking after that!
