On to Georgian Bay

We will depart Little Current on Tuesday and head for a one night stay in Killarney, ON. We've been there several times before and look forward to the return. After that our first planned stop is now going to be Tobermory on the Bruce Peninsula. This was originally going to be our last destination before returning to the North Channel but we decided to follow a counter-clockwise route around Georgian Bay since that's the direction all the guides we are using appear to take. I've attached an overview map that shows our tentative route that will follow the shoreline of the bay. Georgian Bay has been called the 6th Great Lake since it's quite large. I'm anticipating that it will take about 2.5 weeks.

UPDATE 6/30/2009 - We left Little Current this morning and saw a rare site on the Great Lakes and that was a cruise ship. The Clelia II was moored to the city wall early this morning for a fun filled four hour stop in this very small town. This particular vessel will sail from Toronto to Duluth and back every 10 days or so during the season. In case you are considering booking on this boat it only has 50 staterooms and starts at about $5500. It must be very special because a Caribbean trip is half that much and much more scenic. http://www.greatlakescruising.com/clelia/

In any case we are tied up in Killarney tonight and will strike out for Tobermory in the morning. Below you will find a few shots of Killarney.

  1. Glad to hear that the fuel issues are behind you. Barring the one bit of rain you mentioned it looks like you have been enjoying good weather. I trust your AC is now all fixed up; i thought you were expecting the part to arrive at Drummond Island.
