Into Georgian Bay

We left the Trent-Severn behind and started into Georgian Bay, a water of 30,000 islands on the Northeastern arm of Lake Ontario, CA and often referred to as the sixth Great Lake.  We traveled to Midland, ON for fuel, then on to Frying Pan Bay and a stop at the famous Henry's Fish Restaurant. We anchored in a very shallow and rocky anchorage for the night.  One we would not select again because of the granite bottom.  Fortunately, we had no problem avoiding the bottom, but it made us nervous.

We took a side trip to Parry Sound, ON, a very enjoyable small town with beautiful anchorages, quaint marinas and fun restaurants and shops.

A beautiful anchorage at Hopewell Bay.  Lee, Suzan and Max go for a swim.

King took the dinghy to the island to look for a fish or two.  He came up empty-handed.

Port Au Baril Lighthouse

Killarney Village is a narrow passage of marinas, lodges, and homes that stands at the entrance to the North Channel of Georgian Bay on Lake Huron.  Going across the river to dinner at the Sportsman Lodge.

Sailing from Killarney to Little Current, ON

Boats must time the arrival to the hour because the bridge only opens for 5 minutes every hour.  We arrived a few minutes early and then passed through the opening.

  On across North Channel, beautiful anchorages and wide open water.

We met other Loopers at Blind River Municipal Marina, Ontario.  The owners of a local restaurant drove all of us to their restaurant.

Lazy Suzan and Blue Moon headed for Drummond Island, USA and customs. For the third summer, we enjoyed Canada very much.
