We left Snug Harbor at 7. We were a bit delayed as we tried to exit; a sailboat had gotten caught in the sand in the middle of the channel and then had gotten his friend to take his anchor and span the channel hoping he could then pull himself off the shoal. No luck and the line was blocking the entrance and exit. We offered to pull him off . He dropped all of the line to the anchor so we were clear to pass. We waited for them to get a line to us and then he wasn’t sure he wanted our help – he was concerned about his keel. So, off we went. Kelley wanted to make the 11 o’clock opening of the Little Current swing bridge. He had timed out trip so that we would be there at 11:08. What a captain, we were right on time.

We passed Little Current and headed onto Gore Bay. We like Gore Bay. It is a nice marina and there is cute town nearby. We thought this would be the right spot to wait out the weather that was coming. We were going to stay for 2 days and I got to make a hair appointment.

The library has Internet – we checked our mail and the weather.

We visited the local museum. There was an exhibit of quilts that looked like paintings of beautiful spots in Canada. I was impressed with the workmanship. They were beautiful. We also walked through the house and looked at the furniture and clothing that had been collected. One of the best things that I saw were 2 sock ribbing machines. The docent was surprised that I knew what they were. Sure wish I had one.

This weekend was their summer fest weekend.  A local band played on Main Street on Friday; Friday night there was  a band coming to play in the tent, which was also a beer garden. We were told that we would be able to hear the band in the marina….and we did.

We were pleased when they ended at 1 in the morning…we knew we had a long run to Drummond Island in the morning, weather permitting.
