Day 90 – Monday, September 7, 2009Today we cruised 35 miles on flat calm water from Gore Bay to Meldrum Bay. Since I was last here in 2007 the small community is coming to life. Last year the government constructed a break wall to protect the harbor and additional facilities are scheduled to be constructed next year. The only grocery store in town has reopened and the owner told me it was a busy summer with boaters and campers passing through the area.
There is an old wooden hotel located here that we dined at in 2007. Tonight we will again dine at the hotel.
Tomorrow we will make Drummond Island then move to the north shore of Lake Huron and enter an inside passage for a day or two of scenic cruising. Fog has become and issue in this region. I was told that the boats in this harbor couldn’t get out until after 10 pm today. If that holds true for tomorrow we won’t get much further than Drummond Island. Boats coming from the west and moving toward us also had a late start and having trouble keeping to a schedule. We have no schedule so we will move when it’s safe and enjoyable.
Picture on right is entering Meldrum Bay - the one the bottom is the dock in Meldrum Bay.
