Tall Ships

We had a great sail today with Rachel and Dylan.   I used to work with Rachel's father, and at Perry's retirement, we talked about getting out on the water.  It was a beautiful day, and not quite as breezy as yesterday, when Ed and I took the boat just past the Ward's Island ferry dock, and headed right back to our dock.


We had a good breeze today, and started with a reef in the main, and a partially furled headsail.  Much more comfortable than our last outing in brisk wind.

Rachel and Dylan do some sailing on Perry's 17 foot sailboat, on a small lake near Guelph.  This was a bit of a change, and they did great!  As we were returning to the club, I thought we could motor past the tall ships mooring at the harbourfront, but there they all were in a row setting sail out of the harbour.  We got a great view of a few of them before they headed out the western gap to their next destination.
