Original Toronto Star caption: A great weekend for sailors; Dozens of sailboats dotted Toronto harbor yesterday in ideal weather for sailing; with winds of 10 to 13 knots; temperatures in the 60s and bright blue skies overhead. Another cold blast from the north is likely to lower temperatures again and to make tomorrow a cooler day; windy and cloudy but without any rain.
