Original Toronto Star caption: Toronto's harbor is an busy as any thoroughfare in Metro this holiday weekend as thousands of sailors take advantages of brisk breezes and generally fair weather. Streaming white wakes of power boats criss-crossed the patchwork of sail yesterday on the bay against the background of downtown skyscrapers. With more marinas being built and planned for Metro area; sailing is a fast-growing hobby.
