Looks cute and calm right now, but Rascal jumped in the water thinking he could catch a fish!

Beautiful weather for sailing. Wind was around 10 miles per hour and we sailed on a beam reach between two sailing regattas, watching their colorful spinnakers.

We had a great weekend of sailing on Lake St. Clair! Two days of perfect sunshine, and enough wind to move! There were a few sailing regatta's that we sailed past and had great fun watching. We ended up staying overnight at Belle River marina - no plans; just sailed where the wind took us!
We seem to be having an easier time with maneuvering Bauble this season (so far!) especially when docking. Not sure if it's the new, larger rudder or if it's the captains increase in experience, but we like the change!

With so much rain this spring we really didn't get the opportunity to clean, or finish our list of boat projects. So we did our cleaning once we got to the docks!
Above, Bauble is shown at her new home at the city marina - Lakeview Park in Windsor, ON. The only issue we've had so far is when a strong wind kicked up during the week, while we were at work, and one of our fenders deflated allowing the teak toe rail to be bashed into the piling at the dock. We already needed to fix that rail, but now it's desperate! Plus one of the stanchions pulled partway out. So we have new fenders that we put into place and tied off Bauble a lot better.
Hopefully no more problems!

Despite the miserable rain that never seems to go away, we put Bauble in the water yesterday! We'll be moving her to her new slip at the city marina tomorrow. With any luck, we'll have some nice weather for the weekend and we'll get a chance to shake out the sails!
