Day 368 July 26 32 mi Wrights Marina Byng Inlet ON

Departure 7AM......no wind.....smooth water.....and the cottagers are still sleeping....
We follow our tracks back out Pointe Au Baril Inlet to Georgian Bay


Marina is empty this morning
 
 
Good bye Looper Boats
 
 
Pretty place to stop
 
 
Sun....a good sign
 
 
We meet one boat this morning
 
 
This cottage has a beach
 
 
Rugged country
 
 
Roughing it
 
 
What a sight
 
 
In early days they used the barrel to mark this inlet
 
Most of the small-craft routes skirts the shoals in the water completely exposed to Georgian Bay weather.  Here we go outside....we are just too big to safely do this section of the route.  If it were a calm flat day the Captain could navigate the turns in the maze of islands but with any wind you are "just dumb" to try
 
 
Red AA2....we are in Georgian Bay with 2-3 foot sheep
 
 
Are you sure you want to do this
 
 
14 miles to Red AM2
 
 
Course change to Red HH2....just 4 miles to go
 
 
We are coming into Byng Inlet
 
 
We follow the buoys now
 
 
There is no Wall Mart
 
 
Think they have roads
 
 
Marks the Small-craft route
 
 
We go that way tomorrow
 
 
But today we go this way
 
 
Very pretty
 
 
What a view
 
 
This is a cute cottage
 
 
Wrights Marina.....Full Service Marina....
 
 
We have hydro and water
 
 
We have laundry for Loonies
 
 
Owner lives on site
 
 
The town of Britt is 3 miles down the road
 
 
We can connect to Wi Fi on the boat
 
 
5 Star Marina and they are glad you are here
 
 
Canadian Coast Guard goes by
 
Wright Marina is at Mile 60....we arrived 10:00AM.....will spend the day catching up with our chores......Captain has "Shad" flies to remove from the boat.....
 
Again we can't make Killarney without anchoring......65 statute miles to go if you follow the small-craft route and we plan on doing that.... 
Our weatherman, Mike tells us weather is coming Monday from Lake Michigan....20 + winds but Sunday should be good....We love this.....he helped us in the Bahamas and now he checking out Canada for us.....He may be land locked now but still knows how to read the wind and waves....Thank you
