2010 Lake Ontario 300 will be remembered for years to come- Editor H2ONotes [ 7/28/2010 - 09:15 ] #  Living up to its billing, sailors met with
high winds, extra high winds, no winds, and light winds. The leg
heading south to Ford Shoal was a tight reach in high winds and the long
leg westward to Niagara was at least 80 miles tacking into the wind
with a variety of conditions from light to variable mixed with a few
more line squalls coming across the lake. The final leg heading North
across the lake to the finish varied depending what time the boats
rounded Niagara, some leading boats had an easy ride across, while some
boats sat in a frying pan for over four hours. It doesn't get anymore
challenging than this for both the Scotch Bonnet Island and the Main
Duck Island Courses. more

conditions for being on the water, Bobbi Sabine likes to hop in her
kayak and visit friends who live along the Grand River -- without
setting foot on pavement.
Sabine said there is something special about paddling to see friends
