Ella and Evan Fishing
Evan With His Catch
Ella With Her Catch
Little Current to Sturgeon Cove - Left Lori's car at Spider Bay Marina. Raining and over cast off and on. Evan and Ella went fishing and caught about nine small perch. Kids have too much energy so Danny took them on an adventure walk.

Frazer Bay to Little Current - Beautiful day, the boat was covered with little flies that had to be scrubbed off. Got a slip along the wall at the finger docks to be in the action for Haweater Weekend. Danny changed the house batteries and we had one bad one. Met Debbie and Mike and the guys went to the water skiing show and the girls went to the quilt show. We later went out for dinner at the Anchor Inn. The kids arrive on Sunday in time to take part in some of the activities, they did the egg toss, watched the parade of boats and the fireworks. Substantial firework display for a town of 1500 people.

Mike and Danny Relaxing
Ghost Owl and Potest Fieri Anchored Together
Covered Portage to Frazer Bay - Clear and hot most of the day. Premium anchorage at the unnamed island. Debbie and Mike Brady anchored with us. Perfect day for swimming in the crystal clear water. Got quite windy in the late afternoon and we rocked and rolled from the wave wash. Stayed here the next day and relaxed. Debbie and I went kayaking to check out the new house being built by the people that own Lindt Chocolate.

Looking Down from the Top of the Clliff
Maryanne's Cove to Covered Portage Cove - Overcast but very warm This is the busiest I have ever seen the North Channel. Walked up the cliff to take some pictures. Danny went to Killarney to pick up the world famous fish and chips from the old school bus. Met up with some more loopers. Dave and Brenda on a Trawler Cat TBBG and Don and Laurie on a Meridian Lady Grace.

View from the Hike
Maryanne's Cove
Heywood Island to Maryanne Cove (Baie Fine) - Started the day off by having to change the water pump impeller in the generator and me taking a fall and almost landing in the engine room. Pretty bruised up. Another 2 hour clean up because of the bugs attracted to the anchor light. Danny became a harbour master in Maryanne's helping boats tie up to shore as their is not much room for swinging. The next day we had heavy showers and a thunder storm. Danny loaded my computer with charts that he got from our new neighbours and friends Dave and Judi Campbell from Plymouth Mass. and had dinner with them. They are also doing the loop. Danny and Sydney the dog walked up to the lookout to make a few phone calls. The next day the weather cleared and was quite beautiful, took the dinghy and went to the Pool. Dead moose in the pool. Looks like it drowned in the weeds.

Kayaking Before Dinner at Heywood Island
Little Current to Heywood Island - Spent most of the day doing chores. Left for Heywood in mid afternoon. Took the kayaks down for the first time and went on a 3 mile excursion. Danny flipped his kayak over while getting in. I'm sure it was quite a funny scene but no witnesses to take pictures as I was far ahead, when I got back to see where he was he was changed and ready to start again.

Bumper Boats
Cruise Ship at Town Dock in Little Current
Sturgeon Cove to Little Current - Sunny and warm in the morning. Went to the finger docks as the wall was full. A cruise ship was in and bad weather was forecast so the marina was filling up fast. High current and high winds made for a lot of interesting docking including bumper boats. We got our supplies and shopping done easily as Mike and Debbie Brady lent us their truck. We had dinner with Debbie, Jesse and Anna as Mike was on his way to Mackinaw Island to compete in the Mackinac to Little Current Sailboat Race.
