MACKINAW CITY: COME FOR THE FUDGE, STAY BECAUSE THE WAVES WON’T LET YOU LEAVE
What do you think, could I have been a Rosie the Riveter?
Icebreaker Maritime museum was really good! Had a great exhibit about the women who worked in the factories during World War II.
SIX WEEKS IN CANADA AND SUDDENLY OUR PHONES WORK AGAIN
FIVE DAYS OF “WOW!” WITH AN OCCASIONAL “OH SH*T”
Bella’s best day is to swim off of the platform behind the boat. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, she is in her own nirvana.
BAIE FINE: COME FOR THE ROCKS, STAY FOR THE SKINNY-DIPPING
NATURE IS NICE, NOW BRING ME A GIN AND TONIC
Contemplating life
BURNT ISLAND: WELL, THAT SOUNDS PROMISING
Beautiful view of the Georgian Bay.
THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Anchoring means you are essentially alone in a remote area. It requires you to not be “stupid” and get yourself hurt as there is no medical facility near by. It also means you are beautiful spaces that allow you to be “one with nature.”
BUOY, OH BUOY…WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?
How would you interpret this marker?
Maybe that it is telling you that the rock is a hazard? That doesn’t make sense as there are hundreds of rocks in the Georgian Channel that don’t have this marker.
Likely, it is saying, “stay to the right (starboard) side of this rock.” Interpreting markers while boating is a tough, and sometimes frustrating job.
WHO NEEDS A GYM WHEN YOU OWN A BOAT?
Thought the grocery store was downtown, turns out it was over a mile walk to the local Farmer’s market. The boat wagon is truly an amazing invention.
FRYING PAN ISLAND: WHERE THE WALLEYE CHECK IN BUT DON’T CHECK OUT
Sunrise at Henry’s before we head out for Big Sound marina on Parry Sound.
FREE AT LAST!!
We tend to eat once we are in port. This particular lunch is a tuna melt, salad with iced tea and cherries.
IS IT PENETANG OR PENETANGUISHENE?
Spent a great afternoon at Discovery Harbour. Took the tender over and walked the 30 acre where the British set up a naval base in 1793.
LAID UP AT RAWLEY RESORT, OUR TRANSMISSION SAID, “NOT TONIGHT HONEY”
Rawley Resort and Marina. We stayed along the wall and enjoyed our time there. I actually got a massage!
BIG CHUTE LOCK - WHAT WAS THAT LOUD CRACK?
Aerial view of the Big Chute lock It is a unique marine railway that lifts boats out of the water. It uses a large open carriage on rails to transport vessels over 600 feet from the Severn River to Gloucester Pool.
APPARENTLY, THIS ISN’T A DOG PARK
Going down with other boats in lock 42.
