Getting ready for another season

This is that great time of year - the start of sailing season on Lake Ontario.  The boat was launched on April 14, and we took advantage of the warm weather this weekend to step the mast.  All that's left now is to hoist the sails, including the new #2 headsail we had made at North Sail over the winter.   Sailpast is in a couple of weeks, and we're starting to plan our summer cruise and booking sailing dates with friends.  Club members are slowly returning from wherever they hauled their boats, and we look forward to catching up after the winter.  We're awaiting the return of some QCYC cruisers who spent the winter in the Bahamas, and can't wait to hear the stories they didn't include in their blogs.  We're watching the weather and planning a few boat jobs to take care of over the summer.  This is that great time of year.
