Loon Harbour to Thunder Bay. A beautiful sunny day. Lots of boats out fishing as the Pine Bay Fish Derby was on. We have a transient slip at the marina and hopefully we will secure a full time slip for next year. Danny stayed on the boat that night to visit some of his friends, I went home with Sydney and Abby who were excited to be home.

Bowman Island to Loon Harbour. More of the same weather. Thankfully Potest Fieri is comfortable to travel in on those kind of days. Tried to dock at Black's Warf, not enough water. Secured the boat in at Loon Harbour. A really nice spot. Danny saw a bear on the shore. Starting to cool down in the evening.

We stayed at Bowman Island again. Lots of rain today with fog. John and Gary left for Nipigon in the afternoon. Visited Ava and Gord Walters at there camp for cocktails in the evening.

Rossport to Bowman Island. We left Rossport in the fog and it stayed that way for the day. We were shielded by the islands until we were at Grotto Point where we had a rolling sea from the south on the side of the boat. Danny lost his new binoculars on the floor. Met up with John Zechner and Gary Lange on the Anica Lee. Rafted to them for the night at Gary's dock. Danny helped them install a sun deck railing.

Took a slow cruise to Rossport, weather and seas were great, with Joe and the boys meeting us at Winston Point. Stayed at the dock rafted to Tug of the North. Went on an afternoon cruise with Michelle, Joe, Bret, Mark, Mom, Dad, Laurie and Karen Furlonger and Rona.

Otter Head to Slate Island. Followed the shoreling to Pulpwood Harbour where we were planning to stay, but we decided last minute to head for the Slates while we had nice weather. Anchored in Pike Bay. Entering the bay was a challenge. Did see some caribou in the evening, but not as plenitful as in other years.

Fished the next day but never caught anything. A fair bit of activity with small boats, kayaks and canoes. Two sail boats joined us in the evening. Gypys Soul and Simba out of the Appostles.

We stayed an extra day at the Slates as they were forcasting a strong south west wind with rain in the morning. Took the dingy out to the lake to see how the waves. Did not do to much because of the weather.

Quebec Harbour to Otter Head. Cool in the morning and then turned sunny in the afternoon with light west winds. We attempted to go into Dave's Harbour but entrance a little to shallow for comfort. Lake Superior with its new water level is a whole new lake. We anchored in Otter Cove and took the dingy to Dave's and walked to the lighthouse for some exercise. Ran into another boat out of Sault Ste. Marie 'Alpha Seven' 4 guys fishing. They seemed to be catching fish and shared with us. Danny did try with no success.

Left Sault Ste. Marie for Michipichoten Island in the dark. It was a bumpy ride but the boat handled well. The sun shone the whole day so we were nice and warm. It was a long day for the dogs and Sydney did get sea sick. Did not see any pleasure boats but there were lots of ships. The fishing village in Quebec Harbour is starting to show its age. It was a beautiful evening. We saw 8 caribou walking the shoreline including a great big buck with a nice rack. We also saw 3 beaver busy making a house.
