Sailing to Toronto Islands

What a wonderful world! with family and friends in this nice island! This 2011 Father´s Day we headed to Toronto Island with our sailboats "Pingoyo" and "Chacho". With a very nice weather we sailed to spend the day in this set of small islands which have an amazing beauty and friendly welcome visitors. We docked at the last mooring posts in the public docking area that offers enough space for our families and friends´ picnic.

Toronto Island is a good example of how Canada cares Canadians leisure time. A well rounded design of a place for enjoying nature, art, and amusement, where ingenuity is everywhere. A must for visitors.

Walt Whitman... AFTER THE SEA-SHIP

AFTER the sea-ship, after the whistling winds,

After the white-gray sails taut to their spars and ropes,

Below, a myriad myriad waves hastening, lifting up their necks,

Tending in ceaseless flow toward the track of the ship,

Waves of the ocean bubbling and gurgling, blithely prying,

Waves, undulating waves, liquid, uneven, emulous waves,

Toward that whirling current, laughing and buoyant, with curves,

Where the great vessel sailing and tacking displaced the surface,

Larger and smaller waves in the spread of the ocean yearnfully
flowing,

The wake of the sea-ship after she passes, flashing and frolicsome
under the sun,

A motley procession with many a fleck of foam and many fragments,

Following the stately and rapid ship, in the wake following.
