Nasty Habits - The Rolling Stones Tribute Band

On Saturday, I biked to the club for Yoga and a sail to Village des Ecluse at Pointe des Cascades.

The weather looked bad.  First time I received an Orange Alert.  But the weather looked like it missed Dorval and the lake and was going to hit Montreal hard.  

Looked clear to the West.  I held my breath and took off with Natalie at 2PM.  The winds were from the West, in my nose.  

After the gut, I ran a little north so I could beat it to the Wind Mill channel entrance.  I was able to sail for about 30 minutes.

We arrived at Pointe des Cascade at 5PM, and I was about to set the anchor when I saw the block was available, so we took it.  There was another boat, a Tanzer named Intrepid, which was tied to two different blocks.

We had a beer aboard and went to find the event.  We thought it might be cancelled due to the weather.  We persisted and found the venue.  We shared a large Nachos with Taco meat, which was delicious. Nat had a strawberry beer, and I had a West Coast IPA.

We closed the event and wandered around trying to find where the dinghy was parked.  We eventually found it, and I crashed, being very tired.

The next morning, Nat was up at 4:30, but she was used to that! I slept to 8:30 and only woke up because my watch sent me a reminder for medications.

We made a zero-carbon departure from the dock at 9:15, sailing on a broad reach/run, taking my shortcut to bypass the Zig Zag channel.  This lets us stay in a broad reach.

Dock just before noon.  Not bad.
