Renée, Dad and I have had quite a few sailing adventures recently. Earlier this month we sailed to the Toronto Islands and jumped off the boat to swim (getting back in is harder). This weekend, we took part in the annual race. Due to an unlucky jamming of the rudder and main sail, we ended up fully clothed in the water with our boat upside down. Capsizing (or «turtleing» as I am told the word is) is actually more fun than you might think, and the only one not to make it back on board safely was Dad's right flip-flop. We still finished the race and much enjoyed our celebratory chips!
