We finally left Parry Sound after four long, cold, and windy nights at the Big Sound Marina. The town certainly offered a lot of amenities but the marina was not a jewel. It's a city run marina and they really need some adults as part of the staff. Our trip up to Byng was about 55 miles and mostly inside protected from the open bay. At Point Au Baril we headed out into the bay and although it was a bit rough it was only 15 miles before we were back in still waters. The alternative route was sort of inside but very rocky, tight, and wind blown and we were advised not to try it in our boat without perfect conditions. Byng Inlet is one of those long, straight cracks in the earth so typical in this area that has become a natural protected canal like harbor well of the open waters. Tonight we had dinner at the famous Britt Inn in the town of Britt, ON. We have many notes from fellow travelers about who to see at the Inn and that we should tell them they said hello. At this restaurant the owner actually drove his Mercedes and picked us up at the marina. The food was great and the service was impeccable. Below you will find a picture of Sheri with Jim and his Mercedes.
As we departed Parry Sound I decided to go through the Hole In the Wall which is shown in the following video (when I can get it to upload to this post). I am also attaching some pictures of our trip up.
