Labour Day Weekend Thoughts

We had a great cruise Saturday to watch the CNE Toronto Air Show from Lake Ontario. We had 8-people on-board. I made two inner harbour pick-ups. We had to leave the Ontario Place Harbour early and dark clouds were chasing us from the west. I docked near Spadina with seconds to spare before torrential rains hit. We waited out the storm for about 15 minutes and the rest of the day was great, sunny and hot.

Sunday I had  at the H-girls on The Brawler. We viewed the Air Show from my slip at OP. As I had learnt last year that is a much better area to view the show. The planes fly right over top of the boat. The ladies loved the air show. We then did a tour of the Ex (CNE). OP gave us free passes to the Ex as we need to cross their grounds to get to our boats. CB loves the air show but thinks it is better to view it from 2 miles out in the lake. That is clearly not the case.

I very pleased that my boat parking is much improved. I'm probably batting .900 in parking right now. If anything the backing up is more troublesome and even there I'm at least .800. i rarely draw a stern look from my neighbour who rarely takes his boat out. The remote boat pick-ups are a hit.
