Sailing Grace: Elbow Run 2023, Rowdy Sailing in Saskatchewan
Shortly after I launched Grace I met Rod McLaren online, where we exchanged notes about sailing and boatuilding, and he encouraged me to bring the boat for the Elbow Run.
This is a week of small boat sailing and camping that he organizes each year, on the beautiful Lake Diefenbaker in Saskatchewan.
Though this would clearly be a significant drive from Ohio, I loved the idea of meeting a bunch of sailors and spending a week on the water moving from place to place and camping.
Finally this year things worked out and I made the trip--and I am glad I did!
There were really two videos about preparing for the trip.
The first was to finally figure out how to rig for reefing, since I knew I would likely have to stretch the comfort zone for weather:
And the second was about rigging for camping, plus some other items getting ready for the trip:
And here is Rod McLaren's channel where he posts among other videos each year's Elbow Runs:

Thanks to Rod and the rest of the Elbow Run sailors for a fantastic time hope to see you next year!
