A Great Sailing Day


Day two turned out to be one of our best sails ever. There was a strong wind warning with winds around 20 knots and the accompanying waves of about 4 feet. We were on a broad reach most of the day and were cruising with the wind at a pretty steady 6 knots and with the wave action even got up to eight knots occasionally. We flew past Port Dalhousie and Niagara-On-The Lake and landed at Olcott at 4pm. Our first repair was needed here. We blew out a sail slide on the way, but had the stuff on board to fix it. Christopher took a pile of pictures – I imagine he’ll publish a portfolio at some point.

It's great reading about the day in the blog.
Gotta love the repairs.
8 knots has got to be a new record.

Christopher sure looks grown up in that picture.
