| in Little Current |
Hi..Saturday July 31..after anchoring out last night outside Killarney, we pulled into the marina at the town of Little Current which puts us officially on the North Channel… This coastal route will take westward across southern Canada then down to Lake Michigan. This part of our trip offers an additional navigation challenge as there is no published route to follow on the charts.
What a journey it has been for us these last 3 months..up the Atlantic to New York…then the Hudson river to the Erie canal.. to Oswego.. across Lake Ontario to Kingston. Then we continued up the Rideau waterway 150 miles northward to Ottawa… returning to Kingston and cruising across the Trent-Severn waterway westward into Georgian Bay. Now after traveling at little more than 443 hours underway at the helm, we continue westward across the North Channel for approximately 150 miles.
As the photo’s will show, this past week we have been navigating across this beautiful country between rocks, rocks, and more rocks..depths often quickly go from 20ft to 250ft were during the last ice age. The weight of moving glacier’s years ago carved out the bottom.
Just a short entry this time as our availability to wifi is limited and will add photos with this post.
Thank you, Christine, for updating everyone on our adventure together. It’s quite obvious we had a great visit.
