Aug 7-11, 2007 . . . Georgian Bay

On our way to our first anchorage after departing Port Severn, some of the island passages were a little tight. Remember, keep the Red on the Right side of SONATA, Green on the left; and, avoid the fast boat that is coming toward you.... The Georgian Bay . . . look on your maps for the Great Lakes, Lake Huron, then Georgian Bay is above, North of, Lake Huron.


Remember, Red on the Right, dodge the little rock on the right, Green on the Left.

We spent the night at Fitzgerald Bay, rock bottom, and the anchor chain slid across the bottom all night. We had a night with "Marley's Ghost".


The 8th was on Sandy Bay after going through Cunningham's Passage (tight, so tight that pictures were not taken). Here we put the kayaks in the water and went ashore to pick wild blueberries. What a treat!


What a trip down this walled inlet.
Entering Collins Inlet from the East and the traveling West through the inlet we again passed through a narrow passage. This inlet was like a small Grand Canyon.


Overnight at anchor in a wide spot in the inlet . . . then off in the morning to Killarney and the Killarney Mountain Lodge.


The Lodge has guests arriving by automobile, boat, and float-plane. There were four other looper boats here and we depart in a few minutes with one looper for one of the special inlets . . . then we will anchor out overnight. This update is being sent to the blogspot from the lodge . . . the only available internet connection.
