MBSC 50th Anniversary - 12 Mile Bay

July 1st Canada celebrated 150 years since confederation and Midland Bay Sailing Club celebrated its 50th Anniversary. 

We cleaned the decks and down below, sat out a short downpour and left Beausoleil Bay for the sailing club early in the afternoon. We motored much of the way but did get a short sail under jib alone in 18 to 20 knots on the beam.

MBSC's Anniversary was a great party with dinner and dancing and lot's of camaraderie. Many of MBSC's members have been south and kindly shared their tips and encouragement. 

This morning we went out for a hearty breakfast with friends and left the dock about 1230 hrs accompanied by our friends Don, Sharon, Mac and Diane aboard Don and Sharon's Catalina 36 Mk II Symmetry II. Unfortunately the 15 knots out of the southwest that Environment Canada had forecast never materialized so we motored all the way to 12 Mile Bay where we have anchored for the night. 


After another downpour the sun has come out and it looks like it will be a beautiful evening!
