When we looked at the weather report for today it indicated
winds out of the SW with 60% chance of storms in the afternoon so along with
Marc’s Ark and blue Heron, we decided to make an early run for Henry’s on Frying
Pan Island 31 miles away.
We all got started at 7:10 and pulled out of the Marina as
we watched a helicopter from a cottage on the harbor leave. The weather was a little overcast but calm.
As we left the private markers for our marina we passed a rock
named “Jack’s Rock”. Apparently “Jack”
either hit it or had a memorable experience there to get that name.
It was a couple miles to get out of Honey harbor and back
into Georgian Bay. The next series of
pictures were taken in the bay as we traveled.
There were spots that we quite open and some that required
some maneuvering to get through. Rocks
were the order of the day!
About 10:30 we entered the harbor for Henry’s Fish Camp
which is famous among loopers for their pickerel fish. In other parts of the world the fish is known
as walleye or pike.
The six of us had lunch there and vowed to return for
dinner. This is the new money in Canada
and is actually plastic which they seem to think will last much longer than
paper.
While we were eating this small plane landed and it turned
out to be the Georgian Bay Airways which makes several stops here a day from
early April until November.
A couple other planes also landed while we were eating.
This is the water in front of our boat. (the picture needs rotated)
Of course no day is complete when several loopers are
present without happy hour which was on the Ark.
More planes came and went during dinner.
Dinner again at Henry’s.
The picture includes: Barb and Craig (Blue heron); Michelle and Marc
(Marc’s Ark); Mike and Kathy (Queen Kathleen) and the Guthries.
Tomorrow if the weather is decent, we will go to Parry Sound.
