Mini Cruise

Since we couldn't go cruising this season, we took the opportunity of a good weather forecast to visit another club for the weekend.  With light winds on Saturday and strong winds from the east expected on Sunday, we headed east to the Scarborough Bluffs, so that we could have a downwind sail home.

We arrived at the Highland Yacht Club in the early afternoon.  It was one of those beautiful days without a cloud in the sky, and the air was clear and fresh.  We walked through the park, and down to the beach.  People were actually in the water, but I poked my toes in, and brrr... it was chilly.

On Sunday we had a rocky start to our trip home.  The wind was light, but the waves were on a terrible angle.  It got better as the wind picked up, and we were able to take a better line relative to the waves, and we had a pretty quick trip home.
