Day 306
Saturday dawned as predicted with light winds and small waves on Georgian Bay. We wound our way out of Snug Harbour between the rocks and islands until we finally turned toward Killarney on the open waters of Georgian Bay. The farther we traveled the lower the waves became and the trip went well as we had hoped.
Leaving Snug Harbour on a beautiful morning.
Approaching Killarney we could see the pink granite cliffs with the white quartz mountains above.
An otter was playing in the channel across from our marina.
I have to admit, this is the first time I have ever seen a sign with the following message.
We were docked by 2:00 pm, which is good since we were able to attend the 3:00 pm Saturday Mass. This is the one and only Mass each week at the only Catholic Church in town, St. Bonaventure. There were 22 people in attendance.
After Mass, we had a fish and chips dinner at the "world famous" Herbert's. We have now had Great Lakes fish and chip dinners at world famous "Henry's", "Gilly's", and "Herbert's". At Henry's and Gilly's we had "pickerel", better known as walleye to those of us from the USA, and at Herbert's we had whitefish which was delicious, but I'm still partial to walleye.
Our marina was the Sportsman's Inn and Marina. They were so happy to see us that they decided to show a movie on the big screen across from where we were docked. They call it a "boat-in" movie, and you tune in the sound on your FM radio. Of course since it doesn't get dark here in the summertime until 10:00 PM we decided not to stay up for the whole movie, no matter how nice the gesture.
John, where are you? Haven't seen a post in 2 weeks. Right now spot doesn't work. Hope all OK.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've gotten behind. We've been making tracks to get to Charlottesville, VA for the birth of our seventh grandchild. That's where we are now, Olivia was born yesterday. The boat is in Petoskey, MI while we are away. We should be back next week. Thanks for checking!
