Easter: Who is going where?

[Faster]

Yes, it was a great weekend, weather really cooperated and though the forecast was more or less accurate as to content, the timeline was a bit off.

The squall that came through Sunday was impressive - torrential rain for an hour or so followed by clearing and 2-3 hours of 30+knots (fortunately we were snugly moored to our friends dock, the wood stove pumping out the heat....)

We had a spotty motor/sail/motor/sail etc day on Friday, watching the tail end of the traditional Easter Southern Straits race (Medium course winner a Melges 32 "Mischief" with our son on board!- that's mah boy)



Today we had a nice 15-18 knot S wind that put us mostly on a close hauled fetch back to Vancouver from Keats Island in Howe Sound.





A bit chilly still, but all in all a great weekend!

Too late to say where we're going so this is where we went:



This is how it looks in the daylight:



And it's an island just 5 sailing miles from our marina (in Auckland). Jeez it's tough living in the southern hemisphere

Just in case folks here have never seen our city, for us, Easter weekend was spent at Docklands, Melbourne, Australia:







It was a bit overcast and a bit windy, but we had a great time and it's home..
