Day 72 – Thursday, August 20, 2009

The day started out with Susan McClinton leading us on a hiking adventure to visit a couple of locations within the island. Fairy Lake is a lake on the Beausoleil Island with a higher elevation than the waters the island is sitting in! What a great way to start the day. (picture on left) On our return to the dock we said our goodbyes to more new friends and departed the harbor.

We cruised north and west for 27 miles to Henry’s Fish Restaurant and marina in the middle of nowhere on Frying Pan Island. We decided to stay the night due to changing weather conditions and have dinner in the restaurant later in the evening. Within an hour of mooring the boat another storm came roaring through and we were very grateful to be secured to a dock and not on the hook in some remote location!

Every one that we have talked to in this area has recommended Henry’s Fish Restaurant – soooooo we gave it a try and enjoyed it as much as you can when eating fish - again! If I eat any more fish I’m going to grow gills! If you have a desire to sample Henry’s Fish, remember the only way to get there is by boat or seaplane!
