Winter has been dragging on for far too long this year. With air temperatures finally reaching a reasonable 8 degrees Celsius and a less then reliable forecast we decided to hit up Hamilton Harbour. The wind was blowing 15-20 knots north/northwest so it was almost straight onshore. This mean't you had about 200 meters of sailing room and gusty conditions. We took our biggest sails, which means my dad was on a 5.7, Adam was on a 5.4, and I was out on a 5.2. Most of the time we were planing even with the gusty conditions. The water must have been just above 0, maybe 2 degrees, but we couldn't just sail back and forth so we got pretty wet and cold. It was also a good time to test out our GoPro for the first time on the water. Heres a video of Tom doing a vulcan:
