Left Echo Harbour about 11 to go to Parry Sound. Once we got out of the channel leading to Echo Harbour, we fell into line with 3 other Loopers who were also heading to Parry Sound. The South Channel is a pretty trip North with several narrow channels separating Islands. The trip was not uneventful! The crazies were still out since it was a holiday weekend. Several times we were in one of the channels when one or more go fast boats would zoom by us leaving a large wake which would rock the larger boats back and forth. While it may be fine for them, the rocking can sometimes push a boat closer into shore than would be advisable. Had drinks and dinner with a couple of other couples who have been doing the Loop for some time. Interesting to hear their stories since we have just started the Loop. I assume that we will also collect a number of anecdotes as we journey along.
