I spent the morning running errands. By afternoon, both the sun and the wind had disappeared. But still, a great day on the water – nice to be out sailing on the 8th of December.

Sunny November Weekend
Great day on the water – a nice 10 knot breeze out of the North through Howe Sound, very little chop. The high was around 7 degrees.

Mellow Sunday
A super mellow day on the water today. Even with the racers further out in the Strait.

Atkinson Light
A seriously hot day – with temperatures around 30 degrees. By afternoon the wind was light, but still a great afternoon sailing in Howe Sound and the Straight of Georgia.
Another fabulous day in Howe Sound. Despite a forecast of 15-20 knots, the wind was fairly light in the early afternoon. We had a pleasant sail out into the Straight of Georgia.
On our way back I spotted this Corsair F27 just off Passage Island. I’ve seen it at the marina but this is the first time I’ve seen it out on the water. I’d like to see it when there’s a bit of wind, apparently they can crank it up to 20 knots – sweet.

Lovely Half Weekend
The first day of Summer found me indoors – working all day and into the evening. No complaints, its a fun and interesting project.
Sunday turned lovely and I spent some time on the boat enjoying the early evening light.

Fathers Day Sail
I got a great home-made card from the boys with a stick man in a sailboat. So of course I spent the afternoon in my little sailboat enjoying Howe Sound.
And managed to avoid the rain.
A perfect Fathers Day.

Lazy Long Weekend Sail
The sun was out, the wind wasn’t – but no complaints. I did have a leisurely sail through the afternoon with a light SouthWesterly blowing in from the Strait of Georgia.
These 4 were heading out as I was going in.

Mothers’ Day Delight
It’s been the first really warm weekend so far this spring. And what a great weekend for sailing Despite a bit of chop left over from a windy morning, we had a lovely sail in the southern Strait of Georgia, doing 5.5 knots to weather.
Madsu was perfectly balanced with the 100% jib and full main. Despite it being a ‘warm’ day I still needed to wear a sweater as we worked to weather.
EB joined me, so that while she was away, the boys could cooked up a lovely Mothers’ Day Cake for her.
Sometimes, the signs are right.
