Canada Day Sail

[TheRailRoader]

Managed to get a couple weeks off from work, so came down to my old girl and took her out for a couple over nighters. Becher bay for the first one, were we had excellent fresh Dungeness crab we caught ourselves and the second night to the sooke basin.

Photos ahead

Nice. Mmmmm crabs...

For Canada day we sailed into Toronto's inner harbour to look at the tall ships from the free (water) side. Beautiful day with ~8 kt winds to take us there and back.

Glad to come across a another Sooke sailor. I was trying to get back to Sooke on Canada day, from the gulf islands, but the wind and current kept me at Oak Bay one day, and at Race Rocks the next! Looks much more calm in the basin where you were.

Glad to meet you mate (online at least haha), but I am no sailor and my boat is down there with my kid brother ^^ just got into this year really, my prior experience is realistically nil lol.

But nice to know we have more people there
