Before we departed Parry Sound, we filled our water tanks and had our holding tank pumped. I think we may be on the anchor for a few days . Departing Parry Sound under grey skies we went north to travel through the real Parry Sound – an area of deep water, passing Killbear Point and park and heading up the small craft channel.
The area is extremely beautiful but care needs to be taken as some areas are narrow and shallow. We heeded the warning on Chart 2203-1 and avoided going through Canoe past Spruce Island and coming back into the small craft route. We then followed the small craft route through to Shawanaga Inlet and ended our day anchoring in a small cove north of Anchor lsland and south of Josephine Rocks (just before Hopewell Bay). It was a good choice since it was sheltered and only three boats anchored there as opposed to Hopewell which was packed. Absolutely peaceful as the pictures which ultimately will show when I get to a better WiFi connection or a hard line so they can be posted. attached show. Brenda went ashore to look at plants and compare them to the book she bought in Parry Sound .
Tomorrow we head further north and go through Hangdog Narrows. I am a little nervous about it because of the winding nature and shallow water. The alternative is to go outside into open water which means we miss a beautiful area.
The sky was clear tonight and the stars were absolutely amazing to someone used to living in the city.
