2016 season starts early

While our first sail last year wasn't until mid June, an unseasonably warm couple of weeks has allowed us to sail a couple of times already!

Sailpast was a beautiful warm day, with enough breeze that it was actually possible to sail, without feeling out of control.  Ed and I went out onto the Lake the following day, and had a great sail.  We planned to go out on Victoria Day as well, but our depth sounder alarm was sounding incessantly, even though we were in our mooring with 13.5 feet below the hull.  Technical support was not very helpful - "try unplugging things until the alarm goes off....."

The alarm wasn't sounding today, so with a hot, humid day in the city, we set off for another sail.  What a difference out on the lake.  We had a good breeze, and I actually had to put a sweater on before we made it back.  As soon as we headed back into the eastern gap, the heat returned.  Not complaining!
