Snug Harbor

Aug 5, 2014

Off the wall at Little Current by 8 am after filling the water tank and pumping out, through the bridge at 9 and on our way to Snug Harbor.  It's only a 14 mile run with our route taking us through "Little Detroit".

Day Dreams coming thru!

                              

It's so narrow you have to announce your intentions on the radio -- not enough room for 2 boats to pass by each other!

Snug Harbor is a beautiful little harbor with a tricky entrance, but we were anchored safely by early afternoon.  We would be 2 of 4 boats the first night.  

Aug 6, 2014     HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GARRY!

What a day!  A dinghy adventure for the birthday boy.  We set out at 10 am for Baie Fine (bay fin) and the Pool (only 18 miles!!).  It's one of THE places in the North Channel -- beautiful and not as crowded as we would have expected.  

At the end there is a trail head, so of course we had to do the 2 mile hike to Topaz Lake for lunch.  There were several groups of hikers enjoying the crystal clear water.

Back to the dinghies and the 18 mile trek back to Snug Harbor.  As is our usual luck, the ride back was rough --- Z and Luke, Mimi earned her "Nelson Navy Seal status" today!

We returned to find 12 boats now in the anchorage but that didn't cramp our style.  Time for birthday celebration.  Martins joined us for a great dinner of pasties (past eez) and homemade gingerbread cupcakes with ice cream -- complete with candle!  All in all, a most memorable 65th for Garry.
