Between North and South Benjamin Islands

Duncan and Ed getting ready to Med Moor the boat. Later in the day we had a pop up thunderstorm with strong winds. The rainbow was so pretty and the change in the color of the rocks near sunset was beautiful.

Kagawong

Bridal Vail Falls, a short hike from the Marina. It was a great stop for a few hours and then we headed for the Benjamin Islands.
The church at Kagawong was interesting with different boat parts used inside.

The Pool at the end of Baie Fine








46 02.689N


81 28.718W Baie Fine is like a fjord with white quartz rock. It is very different compared to the flat rocks of Georgian Bay. We got out some of our toys and paddled around to explore. The water temp here is 76.6.

Tom the Snapping Turtle


This snapping turtle is a fixture around The Pool at Baie Fine. People say he is there every year looking for a handout. Unfortunately, his eyesite isn't very good and when you drop something in the water for him, the little fish get it 9 times out of 10.

Spider Bay Marina, Little Current

45 59.196N
81 55.836W

Our wonderful next door neighbors from Mumford Cove, Lolly and Duncan drove 16 hours to enjoy our new experiences in the North Channel.

Spider Bay Marina, Little Current



The light house guarding Little Current Harbor. The current can run swiftly caused by the winds and it can change direction several times during the day depending on the winds.


Meeting new people along the way is so much fun. We were surprised that Sailboaters would even talk to us--anyway we met Peter and Thais in Killarney while we were both looking for internet and then again in Little Current and a few other places. Guzunheit (German for "God Bless You") is now on its way home.
