Racing

The big sailing event of the year is, no doubt, the TSCC's race around the island. This was my first year competing. We did not exactly go around the Toronto island, but along it's side. I steered on the way back while dad controlled the spinnaker(large sail in the front, good for when the wind is behind you). Dad and I finished 7th out of 11 in our category. The picture is the view from the front of our Waferer? Wafer? Wefre? Anyway, our boat.

Save the sea turtles!

Last weekend, Sauvanne, Arianne, Renée and I organized a yard sale of most of our old toys and things. All the profits went to the Canadian Sea turtle network to help protect the Leatherback sea turtles. After sitting outside for five and a half hours, we managed to raise around 230$ for our cause. We are getting together this week to write to the organisation and send them the cheque!

This picture is a detail from our poster.

Air show

We are lucky to have our green roof for many reasons. One of them is because it is straight under the path of the planes during the Air show. Sitting on our lawn chairs with our neighbors Sauvanne and Arianne. Some F-18 jets got so close, we could see the writing on them. I do not have pictures of them, sadly, but here are a few good ones. We have been to the Shack and found a neat variety of creepy-crawlies like this caterpillar and this Dragonfly larva. School has started and Pictures will follow.
