Sailing on the Lake!

We had a really fun day sailing on Lake Ontario with Scott on Thursday. Alex, Jen, Michelle, Erin and I joined Scott on his 24' Shark sailboat. The wind was wild so we were leaning over pretty good in the morning out to Milton Island. I was scared crapless too! It's only my second time on a sailboat and the first one was 30' long and a calm day. So this was a first for me! Scott assured me that the sharks are un-tippable unless the waves are 5 feet high!

So, once on Milton Island (which is a Provincial campground beleive it or not) we spent a few hours swimming, eating and generally having fun in the sun. The sail back to town turned out to be more of a motor boat ride as the white caps on the lake were getting pretty high and the boat was going up and down like crazy as we rode the waves. So we took out time and let the 5 hp motor get us home. YEAH!

Erin went to bed at 7pm and slept 11 hours! What a tired girl (*haha*)
