2005 Trip to the North Channel

on our Doral 330SE

the Get~Aweigh II


 

At long last, 2005 is the year we make a long awaited trip to the north channel.  over 1,000 miles in 12 days, we circle most of lake Huron, cross Georgian bay, have 3 long crossings of open water where we encountered no other boats and in general had the best vacation of our lives.  This first photo diary is of port Elgin, Ontario and Tobermory, Ontario.  we reached port Elgin on our second day and Tobermory on the third.

 

This Photo diary includes photos of flowerpot island and Beaverstone bay.  We anchored at Burnt Island in Beaverstone Bay and it was one of the quietest places we have ever been.  not a sound except for the occasional bird although one time a seaplane landed and then took off.

 

This Video Shows the crossing of Georgian Bay from Tobermory and passing lonely island.

The narrow channel into Beaverstone bay from Georgian bay.  Note the pink granite all around.

 

We anchored at burnt island where we were joined by the muddy rudder and saw a seaplane land and take off among other things.  this video contains some of the sights and sounds of that anchorage.

 

  To understand what a cruise like this offers, just watch this video on a cold morning this winter.  It's 3 minutes of nothing but seeing the bow of the boat turn around the anchor line early in the morning as we sipped coffee and talked. you may even see a fish jump if you watch closely.

 

This Photo diary includes photos of Beaverstone Bay at Sunrise, Collins Inlet, Mill Lake, and The Entrance to Kilarney.

 

  This Photo diary includes photos of Bay Fine, The Pool, Little Current, Gore Bay, and Presque Isle.

 

This is video from Bay Fine and The Pool.
