Meldrum Bay – charming with a good restaurant.

As we left Gore Bay traveling to Meldrum Bay, we had one more view of the lighthouse. We were wishing we had ridden our bikes out to the lighthouse even in the strong winds.

The scenery is so beautiful. Even with our 5 weeks here in Canada, we hav…

North Channel Gore Bay – windy!

As we entered the Gore Bay Harbour, we were entertained by a sailing class. It was already windy and a great time to practice tipping over and getting back up. The instructor swam to one of the boats to help the frustrated sailor.

Benjamin Islands – amazing Canadian Shield rock formations

Since Seamoore, et al were in Little Current with us, we decided to leave at 730AM to beat the crowd and find a better anchorage at the Benjamin Islands. We were ready by 715AM (amazing!) so we left earlier than expected. The weather was perfect and …

Georgian Bay, Honeywell Bay and what a honey it is!

Honeywell Bay is now on our list of favorite spots. Put it on your Bucket List. The Bay is surrounded by pink granite, sometimes covered by lichens (?) of other colors. Rocks jut out of the clear glistening water and the water is so clear, we coul…

Georgian Bay, Parry Sound

Cruising in through the islands in Georgian Bay has been a pleasure. Everywhere are rocks. Cottages are built on rocks. Cottages range from modest to large homes. We cruised up the South Channel into Parry Sound and back out the North Channel, which ad…
