Plan A was to get one more anchorage in and the target was Echo Bay. Though it is a popular spot, we thought it might be less busy on a Sunday as the weekenders headed home. WRONG! There were already 6-8 boats in the little bay. Sooooooooo.............
On to Plan B -- we called Henry's Fish Restaurant, a boat up place with both short term (while you eat) docks and overnight space. Thankfully, he had room for us and was only about a mile away.
The place was hoppin', so we decided to hike the trail around the island. After a couple of false starts and the help of the only map available, we finally found the trail and hiked to the other marina on the island, then up to the highest point looking out to Georgian Bay. On the way back, we once again lost the trail, but with the help of Doug's GPS we managed to find our way back.
Henry's does a mean pickerel (walleye in the states)! As we enjoyed our meal, we got to chatting with the couple at the next table, who had several good tips for our upcoming travels through the Trent-Severn Waterway. It's such a small world!
