The Mississauga News is reporting "Several boats capsized in Lake Ontario near the Port Credit Yacht Club this afternoon, sending 17 children into the water scrambling for help."

I have been sailing since I was seven, but I've never sailed in anything like that. There were 80 km/hour gusts of wind and I was pretty, ridiculously scared. I almost drowned at one point. A wave flung me out of my boat and I had to swim back and I couldn't because of the waves. I was really scared.
