Hanlan\u2019s Wall is still packed but we decide that it is time to go exploring. Mary has friends from China\u00a0staying in Toronto so they came to join us for a sail. Mary\u2019s friend Arthur has just graduated from the University of Western Ontario Law School and his mother came over from China for the graduation and to see some of Canada. The wind is up, the sun is shining and its time to take Ananda out for a run. We know that we will lose our mooring space on Hanlan\u2019s Wall as soon as we pull away but we decide to take a chance and if we cannot find an open space when we come back we will anchor in the harbor or somewhere in the islands.<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>We had an awesome sail\u2014I could not believe how many boats were out\u2014all types and sizes\u2014it was like traffic on the freeway until we got out of the harbor and out on the main waters of Lake Ontario. There were several tall ships in Toronto for Canada Day. We motored past a few of them in the harbor\u2014magnificent vessels. It\u2019s hard to imagine what life must have been like on those ships back in the day. I would love to get a chance to sail on one for a few days.<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>Arthur\u2019s Mom did not speak much English but Mary and Alice helped keep her company. They spent a bit of the time in the pilothouse having snacks and \u201cgamming\u201d in Mandarin. A \u201cgam\u201d is when two or more sailors get together and tell stories to each other. Not sure what you call it in Mandarin. When we were finished sailing we dropped Arthur and his mother off on the mainland and headed for Toronto Islands and Hanlan\u2019s Wall.<\/span><\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>As we expected, all of the spaces were gone so we needed to head for the designated anchorage area in the harbor. We tried to anchor there but the wind was pretty strong and it was adjacent to a busy (boating) traffic area. I was concerned that we might drag our anchor and\/or get hit by an inattentive boater passing by, so we decided to move on. We headed back in to Toronto Islands and found an anchorage area in Lighthouse Cove, just beyond Hanlan\u2019s wall and outside of the traffic zone. Now it was time for Ananda to settle down to her first night at anchor on this journey and we had found the perfect spot to do this.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
