We had a nice #sail today on #Vesper on the #Ottawa today, with Alexis along as crew. The conditions were great, with a very steady 10 knot easterly breeze, as a low is coming in from the west.

@Kathryn Barr and me, out #sailing #Vesper on the #Ottawa River today. No one else was out there! It didn't rain that hard!

After almost two weeks since we launched of uncooperative weather, we finally got in our first #sail of the season on a really lovely day on the #Ottawa River.

More #sailboats in the #Vancouver outer harbour under a foreboding sky.

Many of the #sailboats in the #Vancouver outer harbour were in very poor shape, like this one with shredded sails.

Always seems as though nice temps automatically mean heavy gusts. Dang.

The #marina is looking a bit bare today, as almost all the #boats are out for #winter

#sailboat #sail #sailing #boat #boating

It is that time of year, the last of the #boats are coming out for #winter. This is a Northern 25 #sailboat.

@Kathryn Barr and I today were helping Alexis get his #Grampian 26 #sailboat #Slowpoke out of the water for #winter.

In the trip from the slip to the crane bay the four strike gasoline engine only quit ten times...
