Victoria, June 26/27

But wait, it’s not quite summer yet. Weather forecast wasn’t good for flying so Pete suggested a long due visit in Victoria. And despite the not so great forecast we got to fly Mt. Prevost, even spending most of an hour well above it (I was on top of the stack and flying longer than Pete – a rare event up to now).

I also got my hands on the rudder of Tsonoqua, the trimaran, steered a few tacks and getting up to 11 knots (that's pretty fast for a pleasure sailboat). Yet another form of locomotion powered by nature, just like floating down a river, skiing a slope or flying in thermals.

But most importantly (and the priority of the visit), we got to spend time with the family, catch up with news and play with the kids (and dogs and chickens and horses) – a very nice weekend.
