First a tight 90 degree turn to port, a short narrow distance and a starboard turn of again 90 degrees; shallow water and rocks all around.
From the entrance into the bay SONATA coursed to Beausoleil Island and the northeastern inside bay.
After anchoring we were visited by "Bonnie's-Loon".
She was calm . . . then started to talk . . .
Talking to another loon on the other side of the bay.
Then she got so excited that she was yelling . . . could see the veins in her neck...
Beausoleil Island was, is, a popular place for the canadian vacationers, so popular that SONATA decided to move on to a more peaceful place. Off to Bone Island.
The passage took us through Starvation Bay. A narrow entrance not uncommon with the Georgian Bay waters.
Narrow channels, beautiful waters, all so wonderful. (Temperature is cool, all the time)
Passing one of the Georgian Bay's land marks we must make a comment. This is Henry's on Fryingpan Island . . . a "must-stop" for most boaters ... for a fried fish dinner. We stopped in 2007 . . . no need to stop again.
One of the challenges on the charts is the "Canoe Channel"; and after quiet evenings at Bernadette Bay and Richard's Bay . . . SONATA decided to transit the channel. It is narrow, but not as frightening as the chart would have you believe. The chart says vessels greater than 40' should not transit....
Next was the Umwah Island channel
This tight, narrow, close space is one of Charlie's favorites in the Georgian Bay.
On our way to Byng Inlet to meet up with Don and Theresa we passed another "Kiawah Island."
A dress-up night for dinner at The Little Britt Inn, Byng Inlet. Dinner was very good . . . the owner needs customer service training.
