Day 85 – Wednesday, September 2, 2009
Last night I got up about 2 am and the night sky was cloudy so Barb got to sleep!
Other than cleaning off a ton of weeds from the anchor we got under way by 9 am and entered the main channel without incident. We arrived in Little Current at 11:55 am and waited five minutes for the swing bridge, which opens on the hour. We went directly to our marina which we had called ahead and reserved a slip for the night. We are not sure if we will stay one or two nights here. Every one agrees that it’s more fun on the hook in some remote location. We have now finished exploring the Georgian Bay for this year and are in the North Channel and haven’t decided how long we will cruise this body of water! Everyone feels that we will put the boats up for the winter by mid September. If that works out, we should be home around the 1st of Oct. We still have our car in Vermont that must be picked up before returning home. On the way home we will return to the boat to load our belongings that need to return to Illinois.
