mini-vacation with Cindy

Cindy and I went out for a nice long weekend of sailing in a heatwave.

We met on Thursday noon and did some groceries.  We anchored at Valois Bay in light winds.  Then we went out to PCYC for the final protest hearing.  We and Capuricus were dis-qualified. :(

We sailed out to the middle of the lake in very light winds and anchored out there to see an extraordinary moon, two days after being full.  Made a quick supper of Codfish.

Next day (Friday) we lingered at anchor under the cockpit tent.  The winds picked up to 19 knots. I was pleased the tent held out but I did put it away and we were going to sail to better shelter from the west winds, but Cindy wanted a snack of ham, cheese and crackers and took a nap.  That was when she got seasick.  We hauled anchor and came back to the club.  Hung around the club.  Jimmy did not come to the club because he had a client coming at 4 and could not make it to the club for the race.

We had the steaks and lingered around the club.

Next day, Saturday we lingered around the club and went to Lynda's 60th birthday pool party. 

We returned to the club via Lake Shore drive, visited the old dock besides PCYC. We met Mark on a Trimaran and he was heading to the Saguenay with just a Torqeedo Travel.  We exchanged email address and I sent him Patrick's presentation on Downriver.

There was a small system coming in from Ottawa and afterwards, we sailed out to Valois Bay for a supper of hoisin pork chops with sweet potatoes and enjoyed to sunset.


















Next day, Sunday, we did a couple of circuits to Grand Anse, back to near the Gut, out to Beaconsfield and back to the club.  Had a pump out and then attended the AQVA meeting and came home for pizza and beer and a good night's sleep.





Nice mini-vacation.

I biked to the club on Thursday for the Tactics and rules seminar by Peter Hall and Joe Jospe.  I stayed on board afterwards.  It was cold. ...
