Well back home today after a 12 hour sail from Lions head to Penetangishene.:
Waited out the weather at Wingfield basin and in the Lions Head marina. That is actually a nice spot but really really expensive. One night with Hydro = $78 way over priced. Would have been better to anchour in the small bay there. Anyway, tried to cross the bay on Sunday from Wingfield but the ratio of 1 meter waves too 2 meter waves was too high so turned back and headed to Lions head for the day. Went in to town to get provisions for dinner and checked out the sand sculptures and horse shoe tournament on the way.

Set the alarm for 530am Monday morning  set up the Genaker for the next day and went to bed at almost midnight. Had a few of the neighbors over for drinks. Up at 6am and out of the marina at 630. Kite up at about 730 and enjoyed a nice quiet down wind sail for about 4 hours and then the wind dropped and boat speed went bellow 3 knots about 20 nm out of Hope. Stopped in at hope to clean up the deck in a calmer environment and then motor sailed the remainder of the way to Penetanguishene.
Arrived at my slip at 8pm so 12 hr of sailing on this crossing about what I predicted :)
