Sunday Family Cruise

Son in law John has a beautiful cruiser and tries to have a family cruise every summer. It  is impossible to get all the family together but those who make it really have a great experience.This year we were blessed with perfect weather and over the nearly six hours we sailed along the Lake Ontario shoreline between Oakville and Hamilton Harbour.

This year we had a special guest as Matrix  the dog in training came along for the trip. The girls were taking in the sun on the foreword deck but made frequent trips to the galley to share in the treats provided for the occasion. Matrix had his share of treats as well but remained well behaved during the whole journey.

This body of water is very busy and numerous marina facilities dot the shoreline. Sandy beaches provide good swimming for the local residents and the shoreline provides beautiful locations for housing. Hamilton Harbour also provides exceptional locations for heavy industry and it is the home to Canada's steel industry and thousands of jobs.

Every sailing we have provides memories of the time shared on the water and for me it brings back some of the happiest moments when I sailed the Ottawa River.
