The predicted strong winds did not occur after midnight. However they were still predicted for early Sunday morning. We pulled anchor at 8:00 for the long run to Beaverstone Bay in order to beat the expected strong winds. I was not unhappy about leaving the Bustards. Maybe they are beautiful, but talking to other Loopers we missed the Bad River area which they raved about. However, we live in these parts and can easily return at some time in the future.
The trip is a 20 mile trip across open water and if the winds picked up it could be quite uncomfortable and bumpy. We made the trip in about 2 1/2 hours and anchored in a little bay of the behind the Burnt Island. There must be a dozen Burnt Islands in the 30,000 Islands. I’m sure that there is a story behind each one – I’m just not sure what they are.
Two more Looper boats joined us later in the morning – Lazy Dolphin and Serendipity. We joined them for a social hour at 5:30 and exchanged stories.
It is a very beautiful spot to anchor and as I said earlier if we get to a good WiFi location or a hard line, pictures will be posted.
However as you can see Brenda is enjoying herself.
