      Launching his sailing season, Robert Beattie vigorously polishes the hull of his sailboat at Port Credit as he readies it for the water. In the Metro area, there'll be some boats out on Sunday, with light winds and a high of 60.

      Living on a boat at Toronto Island Marina means that Pat and John Dyer can cast off and sail for the Bahamas if they feel like it -- but it also means claustrophobia that impels them to dine out three times a week. A dozen people live on boats in Metro all year, and life afloat suits them just fine.
