Over the winter we made the decision to move the boat to the Lakeshore Yacht Club, which is walking distance from our home in New Toronto. Now that we are no longer working downtown and the commute by transit much longer than before, the trip to the island was becoming quite expensive and much less convenient. We were surprised that we were able to get a mooring for the current sailing season, and I had to cut short my role as Past Commodore on the QCYC board.
It was a little sad to be leaving Queen City after 15 year, but we were looking forward to a new adventure.
We had quite a load atop the boat as we motored our way to LSYC. It's always amazing how much stuff one accumulates over the years, particularly with a convenient locker in which to store it all. Sails, winter cover and frame, ladders, tools and various odds and ends - it all had to be moved. Luckily we had a calm day with an easy motor to our new home. Lakeshore had not yet stepped masts, so our boat was easy to spot.
