Thursday - August 5, 2010

We got up today ready to move on. Fortunately, I can get the Environment Canada web site on my new magical phone. The report was not good calling for strong winds between 20 and 33 knots all day and not diminishing until Friday. The VHF marine forecast confirmed this report. While normally that would not necessarily be a concern, our next step will take us through some tricky narrow areas exposed to Georgian Bay and its westerly winds. It could be difficult navigating through the channel without being pushed onto shoals. We decided to stay put until the winds died down. We are not in any hurry. This place is very pretty and nice and quiet with nice little beaches. Brenda has been going ashore looking at the plants and reading about them in the book she purchased in Parry Sound.
