Original Toronto Star caption: A sure sign of spring; When sailboats dart about the blue water of Toronto Bay during the week; and not just on weekends; spring is really here. Yesterday Lloyd Harrison and Omer LeClair took advantage of the warm weather and brisk breezes to sail around the harbor. There'll be sun tomorrow but it will be cooler; with a high around 52.
