2015 Sailing Vacation begins in Mimico

This year, we started our vacation close to home.  We didn't have far to go to get to the Mimico Cruising Club, so the light rain which was falling on our departure didn't worry us.  We motored out the western gap, and then enjoyed a downwind sail to the entrance to the the yacht club.  
By the time we arrived, the rain was pretty steady, but we were settled before the possible thunderstorms which were forecast for later in the day.  Thankfully, thunderstorms didn't materialize, and we spent a cool, rainy afternoon watching the PanAm Games on TV.  Katie is working in the kitchen at MCC, so we had dinner at the club.
Later, (much later - well after dark) Andrew and his friend Chris arrived from Bronte aboard Wild at Heart, and we joined them for a nightcap and snacks.
