Like being in Muskoka, but with a view of the city skyline!

We left RCYC around 1pm
Once we got out past the Leslie Street spit, we were able to hoist our sails and sail between 5 and 7 knots! NO MOTOR The wind was from the north, so no waves.
After a while, the wind swung to the west (behind us), so we had to pole the genoa out
Near Pickering we were moving along at 5 knots with the wind from the SW. We could see the windmill at Pickering showing a NW wind. The waves were building. The wind started dying as we were in the transition from SW to NW winds, so we dropped the sailed and motored the final 5 miles.
We probably could have sailed some more, but just wanted to get home.
Got to the dock at around 6:30pm
