Back to Saskatoon for a Quickie

Made the trek back west for a quick visit with Sally, Abby and Sam. The weather, of course, was insane - 18 one day 28 the next. As usual I brought the bad weather with me - raining when I arrived, sunny when I left. Nonetheless had a great time with the "kids."

Arriving = bad weather.

Sam, Sally, Abby

Slavka and Sally "volunteered" me to dance at the Wakaw farmers market - solo - not in a big hurry to do that again!

Note, I'm leaving = better weather.

Back to Wildwood

Tis the season for sailing on Wildwood Lake.


Took the boat to the car wash and then put the mast up before launching.


Sailed through the 5 foot 4 inch grass (tall as me) Would you believe I jumped in to measure it?.

Were unfairly attacked by Les who was armed with a water gun. Revenge will be sweet.

To get more speed going downwind we set up 2 jib sails - worked great but was a real pain when tacking.


Not to be outdown by Les and Chris's bumpers on the dock we made these using vinyl and pool noodles. I assure you these are for protecting the boat from being bashed into the dock during rough weather not to protect the boat and dock from my docking skills!
