Every year, I look forward to our trip to Pointe au Baril. Although the invite came super late in the season (the wind gods were not cooperating), we still had a great time exploring new shoals in the stellar waters of Georgian Bay.

The rule of 20: Kiting in the cold.
Sometimes it's tough to have fun kiting when it gets cold. I follow a simple mathematical rule to stay away from not-so-fun cold days. Up here, though, cold temps also bring big waves (for this part of the world). So, enjoy :)
