The water level is a foot below last year and we felt we pushed through the mud through the East entrance to the Collins Inlet last year, so we decided to enter from the west. Quite a bit of additional mileage, but who needs to run aground. (We ran agr…

Bustard Islands, Whoa Baby!
Last year we anchored in the Bustard Islands and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We planned to cruise up the Gun Barrel into the harbor, but decided to travel a bit farther south (east) on the small boat channel and enter between two islands. Worked grea…
Pointe au Baril, Britt, only a Stop, but Great Cottage Area
Britt is a very small town, composed of two restaurants and two marinas. If you need to do laundry, this is your stop. You won’t be tempted to do anything else, because there isn’t anything else to do! No Internet, so you don’t have to worry about your…

Ruddy Island – Now You’re Talking!
Last year a local (there you go again!) told us about an area of fabulous anchorage. I marked the sight with highlighter. Later on, another local mentioned the same area. Gotta anchor there!We had a few days before we had to be in Parry Sound and we lo…
