Start of the week and things are getting slow at work for both Shirley and I. How about a mini holiday? A day off work on Tuesday it is...
We left Carp (CYRP - Ottawa) for Smiths Falls (CYSH) early morning, fueled up and departed for Toronto Island (CYTZ).
This is our route. CYSH to CYTZ took about 1hr 10min.
Almost a 50 kt crosswind. No tailwind to speak of.
Shoreline approaching Toronto
We were given rwy 08, joining direct right downwind. Several years back I was given rwy 26 which meant a left base turn towards
the CN tower. I may have to pick my easterly windy days so I can experience that again sometime.
Turning final rwy 08
We chose Porter FBO. Not cheap. Almost $40 CDN for day parking, but worth it in the whole scheme of things. [I received an email informing me that Trans Capital have ramp spots for $25 plus tax, and they are closer to the terminal.] I expect another Transport
Canada landing fee of likely $17 CDN in the mail soon.
There is now an underwater tunnel/walkway, and Porter has free shuttle transport to Union Station (just a few minutes walk from CN tower).
