Hey Jon and Kevin,
Great to hear that you were visiting in July Jon, sorry there weren't many visiting yachts for you to see at Wally Magoo's bar at Pier 4! The bar and the restaurant are excellent spots to watch harbour action, and most larger yachts visiting Toronto park right outside - from the upper dining area at the restaurant you are on the same level as the upper deck on most yachtsof Sunshine's size.
We had Lady Patricia here in August, and Highlander was here a while back. It is actually surprising that so many large yachts visit Toronto, and just sit there! Sunshine is into her second week here, and other than the crew scrubbing her down, filling then emptying the 2 jacuzzis and then repeating the process, there has been no signof life on her at all!
I stay amused by watching the sailing races either in the harbour or out past the islands (a great fleet of 8 meter sloops at the RCYC!).Last weekend there was a "Poker Run" of about 30 large off-shore power boats that started just off the airport beach, and that shook up the neighbourhood when the green flag flew!
Kevin, it is a great view, it's just too bad it is frozen over for what seems like 10 months of the year! Keep your eye out for me in Montreal, and let me know if anything interesting is heading upstream!
Later,
Kip
