Sailing with a Vancouver 28

Toronto

My flight from Sao Paolo arrived in Toronto on 7th Feb. more or less on time but disembarking was delayed due to problems with gate access and then with the gate itself.

It was cold, around -8º, and there had been heavy snow.

I was met at the airport and spent a very enjoyable week seeing old friends and experiencing some Canadian winter conditions.

Toronto had had unusually heavy snowfall.

Also had a good night out at Hugh's room where we saw John Hammond.

At this stage I had still not decided whether to go north or south from Fortaleza. To cover all the bases I purchased appropriate Carribean and U.S. charts and pilot books from the very helpful staff at The Nautical Mind in Toronto.
