We have been here for several days. Laura left on Sat morning and seemed to have had a good ride home. She arrived Sun. Ed finished the job he started in Honey Harbor--converting one of the fresh water tanks to a holding tank--there is no going back! and he has been working on installing (running wires mostly) our new Serious weather for our chart plotter.

Parry Sound is one of the largest towns on Georgian Bay but unfortunately, the food shopping is quite a distance--cab ride away.

Well, 'till next time (yes, I know it's early on but we are still talking)

Ed's sideshifter, bow thruster!

On our way to Kineras Bay anchorage

A beautiful spot with few cottages. The wind was blowing 20 to 25 but we were able to escape the wind.

Ed's first swim of the season, water temp was around 70 degrees. The air temp was around 70 degrees! Had coctails with Ted and Pat on the boat while they told us about anchorages in Georgian Bay and the North Channel as well as places to go in Fl with our boat.

Beginning our adventure of Georgian Bay 2008

We drove to Honey Harbor with our daughter, Laura, and arrived June 29. It took a few days to get ready for our trip. We had to get our car to Parry Sound so Laura could pick it up to go back home. Some great people, Pat and Ted, loaned us their car and we were able to accomplish our goal. While we were hanging around Honey Harbor there was a plane going back and forth taking off and landing several times.
