Cruising - Home Again

First time in all these years we've stopped at Whitby Yacht Club. Nice floating docks! Spacious. I was surprised to see the club was established in 1966, two decades before BPYC. A lovely beach.

For dinner, we walked to a nearby pub and it was eerie how quiet these suburban streets were.

The next day, we sailed past Bluffers and on to Toronto Island and Queen City Yacht club for some island time. Another first - we got a slip right at the very foot of the Club House. Just a hop out and a few steps to the restaurant, washrooms and Snug. All the amenities close at hand, and not as bumpy as I thought. Lots of sandbags still, and cat walks, and the sump pump pumping. There was a Tshirt for sale - QCYC Flood of 2017 - many members were taking sharpies and updating the year.

A full day to hang out. Riding our bikes, exploring Ward's. Fun on Centre Island - Rob bought us some tickets for the log plume ride, the Haunted House, and the Sky Ride. The beach! And no cooking on the boat whatsoever, taking meals at the QCYC Dining room, Riviera, or Island Cafe.  

Such a stunning view.
