I headed down to the Toronto Windsurfing Club for the first time in months. It was a windy day with the odd shower passing through as the gusty wind shifted from west to northwest.
I rigged up the 9.0 Kona sail as it was the only thing I had. Most people were on short boards with 5.7s and there were several wing foilers out too. The day was nice and warm and I was just in shorts and booties. (And a PFD of course.)
I did 10 kms in 30 mins, staying dry for the first 20. I was going faster on the Kona than most other sailors. I was also faster at 38.6 km/h than my last time in high wind on the Kona. It was interesting having to give way to a few big powerboats though.

I came back smiling since the racing was cancelled and I could get back home to help pack up the last of our 3 kids moving out of our house which is up for sale. That also means I won’t be making it down to the Toronto Windsurfing Club as much in the future. I will miss the camaraderie of fellow windsurfers and the great views of Toronto.
