Wednesday - August 11, 2010




Left Baie Fine and moved to Little Current - the largest town on Manitoulin Island (which as I understand is the largest fresh water island in the world, but I could stand corrected). We had to wait for an hour for the bridge to open as we just arrived after it had closed and it only opens for 15 minutes on the hour. In fact it doesn't really open for 15 minutes, rather the traffic is stopped on the hour and then the bridge opens, only to close at 15 minutes after the hour. The bridge is the only way to leave the Island by land. The last time we were here was when the kids were much younger and we took the Chechemun (??) over from Tobermorey.

We then moved on to the Spider Bay Marina to stay the night since we have to do some food shopping. Found an interesting shop in town that only sells crafts from Africa - particularly Kenya. (Laura, you really didn't have to go the Africa, just come to Little Current). Little Current is a town of about 1500 people - who would have thought they would have such a store. The marina has a better WiFi so I am now able to upload a few pictures.

Found a great butcher in town who vacuum packs meats which makes it extremely easy to store in the freezer.
