Day 73 – Friday, August 21, 2009

Today we had mixed weather reports for Georgian Bay. We headed north from Henry’s and dropped the hook in Port Rawson Bay. I know it sounds commercial but there weren’t many other boats in the area! Later in the day other boats did join us at this very special location. More than likely the area we anchored in was once used in the lumber industry. There are still metal rings attached to some of the rock faces that were used to secure logs during the logging days.

The bay was absolutely gorgeous! I anchored in 15 feet of water with a good bottom to set the hook. Barb and I then launched the dinghy and set out to explore the bay and have a picnic lunch away from the boat. With the anchor firmly set and 100 feet of chain lying on the bottom we had a peaceful night to sleep.

The nights are starting to get cool - very cool, and it obvious that the summer is coming to a close up here! Barb and I need to get serious as to where we will store the boat for the winter!
