Tuesday morning Scott drives me to the club since my bike is still there. Picked up breakfast at McDou and at it at the Duggan House.
I went to wait for Charles to fix the rudder stop, but it turns out that he had fixed it on Monday and did not tell me.
I programmed the Sonoff fridge control using Android and it worked fine. I waxed the port topside and departed the dock at 3PM, motoring to the gut in a strong west wind. Winds were up to 28 knots but Bellum handled herself very well with just a reefed headsail 
.
I sailed around undecided if I wanted to spend the night with these winds. Nobody was sailing until Chaos showed up with her headsail around 6.
At 7:30, I pulled into Dowkers to be more sheltered from the west south west winds. 4 1/2 hours of fabulous sailing.
The night was very pleasant. Norm reported lots of rain in Pierrefonds.
Wednesday I pulled anchor at 11 and slowly sailed to the sandbar in very light winds.
Dropped the anchor without the engine. I tried to take a dip but 15C was too cold to go in all the way. Did some reading, took a nap.
I pulled the anchor at 2PM without the engine and had nice sailing until 5 when I headed back to the club for a pump out and deck wash.
The club terrace was quite active. I took the bike with the trailer home.
