Killarney-Baie Fine-Little Current

Dinner with Karen and Mark at the Sportsman Inn - Killarney

Seaplane going down the channel at Killarney

No movie as promised at Killarney but did have a great dinner with friends.  We awoke to blustery winds but beautiful sunshine so around 10am we headed for Baie Fine—a fjord-like inlet with deep blue water fewer boulders in the water, white granite hills topped with pine trees.  We anchored in Mary Anne Cove around 2 miles in along with 12 other boats and set off for the next 8 miles in the dingy to see The Pool at the end of Baie Fine.  It was so windy and rough in the channel that we gave up but we did have a nice relaxing day.  We traveled up to The Pool  in Sunny Days the next morning and it was worth it—looked like Switzerland in the summertime to me.  Then on to the isolated wilderness country of the North Channel --Manitoulin Island sits atop Lake Huron to make The North Channel.  Little Current sits at the northeast entrance and we arrived in  20 mile an hour winds—we came through the swing bridge at about 2pm— the wind made it seem like a long day so we tied up and went for Manitoulin Ice Cream—this fixed our attitude.   We are truly out in the middle of nowhere—there is no cell phone service, the marina’s wi-fi in the area is not strong enough to allow anything but checking mail and the grocery stores sell precious apples for $2 apiece and a container of cream cheese for $6.50! But we did see otters swimming down the main channel at Killarney, lots of people hiking, and beautiful scenery.
