CS34 Whitby to Toronto Hydroplane and Sailing Club

After getting the refrigeration working on big Still Time, Colin and Ben from the club left the club a little after 5pm.  I am taking Still Time to the Toronto Hydroplane and Sailing Club (THSC) to use as a home base for the LYRA regatta on ACE at Ashbridges Bay Yacht Club (ABYC).  THSC is right beside ABYC.

Rita is going to join me on the weekend, and we are going to enjoy the holiday Monday in Toronto Harbour.

Winds were nothing when we started out, so we didn't bother with the sails and motored along at around 7 knots.  After about an hour the winds started to build to about 20 knots, but ON THE NOSE.  We motored the entire way.

As we got close to ABYC,   I radioed THSC on the VHF, and they told us to take a slip on the end of C dock, and they would have no problem accommodating us for the weekend.  We will see the officer of the day tomorrow afternoon about moving to a slip.

Mission accomplished.  I was concerned about getting a slip.

We registered at THSC and wandered over the ABYC to show the boys ACE.

I sent them in a cab to the GO Train to get home.

Thanks guys!
