I would absolutely love to come but sadly I have a clash! I'm so sorry. I really wanted to sail again.

I'm even contemplating buying my own sailboat.

Looks like a sunny day with 22 kph winds and gusts up to 40 kph.
May need to pull in a reef or two!
Be there around 2:00

Well my meeting was cancelled last minute so I did manage to make it! Another beautiful day at the pond!

Thank you Guy for letting me sail your boat.

I'll not mention the bit where Frank and Guy did a tango from one side of the lake to the other.

Great many thanks to Paul for his selfless effort and dip in the lake to free them from the Tango-of-Death.
This is a quick video (20 some odd seconds) that shows how bad the water is.

You can also see Frank's boat fleeing in the distance.

Tango schmango*. 
It was a nice day.  Lots of wind...in spots.
Guy, Paul, Simon H. and I had a great time.

* my main sheet got caught in Guy's rigging (grappling hook) and the boats were stuck together.  We sailed them to the other side.  Paul ran across, went in knee deep, disconnected the boats and allowed us to sail home in one piece.

Everybody is welcome @Crash !
We usually meet on Monday at approximately 2:00 pm when the weather is good (I do not usually go if it rains).
This Monday being Canada Day, I will not be there, but the following week yes.
