Went for a great hike on part of the Bruce Penninsula Trail. It was crisp and fall like. This is beautiful country. We ate lunch at MaryDales…just okay; but one less meal that I have to make! We leave tomorrow for Tobermory and Little Tub Harbor. It is suppose to be rainy and windy! So what else is new?

Crossed Parry Sound about 62 miles. There was a wind advisory but off we went. The crossing was uncomfortable, but we were not in danger. The wind blew, the swells rolled by. We are in Lion’s Head and comfortably tied to the wall (with Hydro).

We left the quiet of Wani Bay and took the southern route to Parry Sound. We made a stop at Henry’s for lunch. Fresh fish and it was good. We got 2 butter tarts to go. They are suppose to be known for their butter tarts. We have never had one, so I am sure it will be the best we have ever had! The southern route to Parry is narrow and during the season it is filled with cottagers racing through the inlets. There is a large ship called the Island Queen and she navigates these waters daily. There is just barely room for her! But we had a comfortable ride. We saw very few small boats. Labor Day has come and gone and most of the cottages are closed already. When we arrived at Parry Sound the government docks didn’t have anyone working. We tied up and located a woman at the Island Queen office and she said she thought everyone was gone. So, we are staying FREE. I love it!

The town is small and is active during the season because of the cottages. We hit the library (for Internet), a local used book store (knitting books) and Kelley rode his bike to get a few groceries.

We are waiting out a storm. Knowing us we will not wait long enough.

Bay off Twelve Mile Bay. We have left Beausoleil Island and traveled about 12 miles. The weather is nice. There are few boats out today. Labor Day has passed and most people as at home are preparing their children for school. The last boating holiday for the season. We have a calm trip through channels with with bays called Frying Pan, Indian Harbor…we are on our way to Wani Bay. This little bay was suggested by Paul and Angela. On one side there is a Provincial Park and on another side there is a small cottage, although we see no one. We are thrilled as the anchor holds the first time. We have not had any issues with anchoring, but many times it takes us repeated attempts to get it to hold. During our time here, a few boats come and go. We stay. Rain is passing through and we are cozy and safe.
