A Royal Wedding and Sail Past
Before 0600 on the morning of May 19th, a group of us got up early, and thanks to Chef Simon and Sherry, enjoyed a great breakfast of fresh scones, clotted cream, smoked salmon and fruit as we watched Prince Harry and Megan's wedding in the Great Hall. It was cold and dreary in Toronto, but beautiful and sunny at Windsor Castle.
We were glad to have the mast up and actually be able to sail during Sail Past, unlike last season, when we were a long way from having our mast stepped. Keith and Madeleine joined us since their boat wasn't launched yet. We headed out just as the rain stopped, motor-sailed past Commodore Jacqui, then took some ribbing about having gone upwind instead of downwind. Oh well. If that's the worst thing that happens, then we're all good!
