Sunday August 18 Day 78 Dinghy tour

Although it was still a little rough with SW winds, we took off on a short (2miles) dinghy cruise.  Indian Harbor is one of several anchorages around Cape Gargantua (per Bonnie Dahl, pronounced gar-gun-TWA).  This area has many deep harbors and intricate rock formations named by First Nation Ojibwe.  Our destination was the “Devil’s Chair”.

 

 

 

We pulled the dinghies in to a little rock "beach"

and hopped out to explore.....

 

 

 

 

 

Here, legend has it, Naniboujou, the giant who protected the Ojibwe, rested after jumping over the lake.

 

 

Can't you just see old Naniboujou reclining behind us??  (use your imagination)

It's supposed to be good luck if you can climb up to that second little "window" and kiss your lover. 

Doug and Jan made it....................

Not to be outdone by the "youngsters", Gramps and Mimi made it too!

It was too rough to dingy all the way to the Devil’s Warehouse, so we went back to the boats for lunch.  We dinghied to shore and hiked the 3K to Warp Bay with it's beautiful sand beach and a long range view of the Devil's Warehouse (the large island straight across).



 



 
 


Along the way, we saw more signs of moose, including this skull, than anywhere in our previous travels.

Never saw a live animal!  








                              Another easy, flat 3K!!!




By the time we got back it was cocktail time, so Garry and I did a little dinghy cruise, still looking for that elusive moose. 

We anchored the dinghy at the mouth of a little stream -- perfect moose territory .



Do YOU see a moose?????




Guess a second moose sighting just wasn't in the cards!
